Well, today was interesting...
14 years ago
So, I was at my local library today, minding my own business and playing my Facebook games, when the power in the whole building cut out for a second. "No biggie", I thought, power outs happen, and it came back on almost immediately, so all was well...So I thought.
A few minutes later, I felt vibrations at my feet. It felt like someone moving something really heavy across the floor, which is what I wrote it off as at first. But then the vibrations got stronger. I turned around, and nobody was moving anything that I could see...
...And that's when the entire three-story building started shaking.
I guess with the size of the building, it felt and sounded like the whole place was about to colapse down on us. So I got my stuff and ran to GTFO the library faster than I've ever gotten out of a building before. Thankfully, nothing was damaged, and nobody had anything fall on them.
People in Virginia, though, where it hit, are not so lucky. I hope they're all doing alright. Someone I used to work with, who me and my other coworkers are all good frinds with, is down that way, and I haven't heard anything about how he's doing yet. I haven't heard anything bad, so I got my hopes up that he's okay.
And now I'm at McDonalds, trying to enjoy some dinner before work, and a van lost control and flipped over, landing on its side. Both of the people in there got out and seem fine, so I'm glad to see that. It's still mad crazy out there right now.
Also, dammit, "Y" key! Function right before I have to slap you! =P

Yeah, earthquakes are not something I'd want to experience on a regular basis, or ever think "oh that was common place" x.x
