6.45am heading to the airport.

I was awake early as I normally am when I have something to be ready for.

At around 5.15 there was a sudden gust of wind that shook the doors for a few seconds, sounded like our rustling paper.

And then I realised the windows were shut, so it couldn't be the wind. Strange.

Then I thought- could that be an earthquake? 

It was. Just off the coast of Lisbon at 5.11am. 

Unusual way to start the day.
