Was It Good For You, Too?

Oct 30, 2007 20:18

We just had an earthquake! Bigger than any of the ones I've been in before. Magnitutde 5.6 apparently. The entire apartment shook, and the cats freaked out. It lasted about 10 seconds or so. No harm done.

Thank you! I was quite surprised!

OH this was your first big one!
= )
I really have no idea why the rest of the country is freaked about them
they're kind of fun.

The first few seconds were fun. When it kept going, and the cat ran to be in a doorway, I started to get a little worried. The other ones I've been in were all fun.

It did seem to go on and on, didn't it?

missionista October 31 2007, 04:28:35 UTC

It really did...

We grabbed the cats, who seemed OK. It occurs to me that I should have put the screen up since we had a fire going. That's really enough, thank you.

NPR said it lasted a full minute. Which doesn't seem like much from over here in New England, but I'm sure is an eternity when it's your cats freaking out and your earth shaking!

I don't think it was a minute. Certainly not where I was. Someone on my flist said the radio reported 20 seconds.
