OT earthquake
We just had a jolt. It was SO LOUD. I've never heard one like that, and I've
lived here since 1954. It sounded like someone threw a grand piano at the floor above my head. At first I could not figure out WHAT the hell THAT was! What THE--???? Noise and concussion like a truck hitting the building, but I'm right here and I don't see *no*truck*. It was just one big WHAM! No shaking, no rolling. Just a CRASH-BLAM. I figured out what it was -- something outside my building -- when I saw this black cat running hell-bent-for-leather down the middle of the street. Poor cat! I could hear the idiots who live in the apartments in back of our lot hooting drunkenly, and the lady next door to us snapping, "Shut UP!" (She hates those guys. I don't like 'em either.) Man! I hope that was it. I like earthquakes, myself, but I didn't like that one. It scared the pee outta me! Epicenter -- not far from us. No wonder it was so loud.

Oh! I was in an earthquake that scared the bejeebers out of me. It was a
6.2 in Alaska. I know exactly what you are talking about. I've always hated them. Give me a tornado any day. You can usually see and hear them coming. Starlia "Dr. Sooz" wrote in message ...

I was in Truckee many moons ago, up in the mountains, when all of a sudden
it looked as though the land below had turned liquid. It was literally rolling like waves. Earthquakes are pretty cool, and the only real danger lies in the failure of man-made structures. IMO, of course. -- Tink www.blackswampglassworks.com Sign Up Now For Fall Workshops! Hollows, Vessels & Florals... "starlia" wrote in message ... Oh!

Son of a gun! Glad you came through safely, even if it rattled you a

{{{{{Sooz}}}}} I'll be thinking about you guys - and I sure hope there won't be any aftershocks - at least none that you will hear or feel!!!

I've always
hated them [earthquakes]. Give me a tornado any day. You can usually see and hear them coming. Oh hell no. I usually like earthquakes. Tornados? My house was hit by one once.
