I’m all shook up!

Today I experienced my first earthquake! It was a bit freaky during and right after because we didn’t know for sure that was what it was, but it was. A 5.4 on the Richter scale. Not too shabby SoCal! Of course my phone didn’t work right away and I was a bit shaky because everyone evacuated all buildings and were out on the street discussing the quake. And I was downtown, and decided to take the underground rail there, so I had to get on that to get home. That was lovely, let me tell you. I waited a while in case there were aftershocks, but there weren’t. Now I’m back safely ensconced in my apartment. Everything is a-okay here so that’s good.

  1. Oooh – how exciting. Choosing, as I do, to live in a part of the world with stable tectonic plates, no super volcanoes and no hurricanes I’ve never been in a proper earthquake before.

  2. Cue cheesy comment about not being the way you’d imagined being rocked in your new city ;)

  3. You aren’t missing anything Dom!
    Hahaha Perp!
