That earthquake was crazy
My family was coming back from a vacation and we stopped to eat. We were almost ready to leave the restaurant when the windows started rattling. We thought that we must be near a train yard or something. When we realized it was and earthquake my sister and I thought it was the coolest thing (There are never earthquakes in Virginia). The last time we had an earthquake I was a little kid.
When we got home the news said that it was 5.8 magnitude that started a few miles from my house. The cats were freaking out and the pictures on the wall were esquew.
It was a trip!

Have you ever experienced an earthquake before?
There are few articles going around about Californian's being rather dismissive about the East Coast quake, but I am not one of them. Ok, sure I laughed at a few of those articles, but I myself have never gotten used to them and fear them so much. I currently live in a 1920's apartment and it shakes every time a big truck passes by, or when one of the neighbor kids runs up and down the stairs. I think it's an earthquake about to hit
Admittedly, all this world wide seismic activity is freaking me out a tad
