She and her husband Stanislaw Zoladz woke up tonight, first without really understanding why.

– Then it felt like it was crackling in the house and it was moving. My partner and I immediately recognized the feeling and understood that it was an earthquake, says Elisabeth Zoladz.

But then it narrowed. Loud and distinct, like an explosion.

– I have not experienced that before, clearly it was nasty. It became just silent afterwards, continues Elisabeth Zoladz.

Today in the morning it is just quiet where she is located, no aftershocks have been felt.
