British woman, 34, visiting her partner in Iceland captures shocking moment earthquake causes his house to SHAKE - as locals frantically evacuated amid volcanic eruption fears are allowed to return home 'for 15 minutes' to gather pets and essentials
A British woman who was visiting her partner in Iceland captures the shocking moment an earthquake caused his house to shake as locals frantically evacuate. Caitlin McLean, from Scotland, was visiting her boyfriend, Gisli Gunnarsson, 29, (both pictured) in Grindavik when they were forced to flee his home at midnight on Friday. Ms McLean, 34, captured the moment the furniture and light fixtures shook violently in Mr Gunnarsson's home as they rushed to pack essential items. Police evacuated Grindavik after seismic activity in the area moved south towards the town, with a corridor of magma, or semi-molten rock, now thought to be extending under the community, Iceland's Meteorological Office said. Locals in the area were given just 15 minutes to gather their pets and essentials before they evacuated their homes.
