phililen3I had a late morning class today, and while I was doing a presentation, we felt the floor shake. We initially thought that it was the builders in the floor beneath us and just shrugged it off. When the class was over, one of my classmates checked he phone for status updates from her friends and one of them had written that there had been a tremor in the city.
We checked the news sites and A 5.3 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE HAD HIT THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY. There are reports that buildings had actually been shaking.
The shaking that we had felt was a tremor. I have a headache now and I think I'm going to throw up. All that shaking made us all feel sick. I've never experienced an earthquake or a tremor. You see it on TV but it just never clicks with you...
We've had a tremor in the city before but that one was due to an earthquake off the coast of Mozambique. I had been out of town for that one for school. Was irritated that I had missed out on all the action. It had scared a lot of people. And I had been irritated at missing all the action.. Yeah... I'm definitely a terrible person.
I've always thought about what would happen if we experienced an earthquake in the city. It's a bit frightening to think about since a good portion of the city is built on sand. Our buildings don't get that tall, but still... And I live right at the beach... Whenever they dig up the streets for maintenance, all you see come out of the ground is sand...
I used to see myself living in a nice flat when I was older, but now... Definitely a single story house built on solid earth, thank you very much.
May Solid Earth Be With You
