EAAAAARTHQUAUAUAUAUAKE!!!!


So today, whilst in a work meeting, the building started to shake just a bit. We all looked at each other, not sure if what was happening was what we thought it was. Then, the building started to shake a lot. It was indeed an earthquake, measuring a solid 5.3 on the richter scale.

The building was shaking pretty good. Lights were swinging. Objects fell off desks, and the building was swaying pretty good. Felt similar to a plane in heavy turbulance.

It was just enough to put a little worry in everyone, but not strong enough to do any damage or injury. So, it was a good first experience, and makes me probably not want to experience a major one. However, I'm glad to have the opportunity to say that I've been through it.
