Another one of those car-vs-house stories

From the BBC:

A car crashed into a house in Sheffield, damaging the property but injuring no one.

Salma Zahid, who was in the house, said: "I heard such a big crash. It was like an earthquake."


An interesting simile; if I could be bothered, I'd track down a first hand account of an earthquake where somebody says "It felt like a car had hit the building".

AM, true, but I can't wait until an earthquake survivor says "It was like having a really fantastic shag."
