Wakey Quakey

I just found this gem in the Daily Mail's coverage of the earthquake that happened in the early hours of the morning:
John Jenkin, from Bourne in Lincolnshire, was woken by the tremors and said that objects had fallen from shelves.

He said: "I was woken up. It was hell."
That's it. I haven't taken it out of context, that's all it says about John Jenkin. Since when has objects falling from shelves been a hellish experience? I mean if there was a special circle of hell for OCD sufferers then maybe I could understand, but my copy of Dante's Inferno indicates that no such thing exists. Perhaps John Jenkin needs to get a grip?
