Damnnn! Havn't heard from 4aged. This is from thorns facebook page:

Thornz: "Yeah we are all good, house is trashed, no power, but okay. Round at my brothers now who has power and net."

As above, we are all good, flat is definitely worse for wear.

Never wanna go through that again thats for sure, so bloody violent, had to crawl to the bedroom door amongst falling furniture, couldnt stand at all was just shaking so much. Our area St Albans seemed to be hit pretty bad, my brothers place on the other hand looks like nothing happened to it, nothing broken, only a couple of things fell of the shelves.
