Earthquake..
Sorry if a topic has been started here or on the GDF, didn't quite see anything.
SO..Friday was my first (and hopefully LAST) earthquake experience. At around 5:30 AM I was laying in bed, sleeping away and all of a sudden my room starts to shake and basically I jerk awake and think I'm dying. If I've ever had a large jumble of thoughts in a minimal amount of seconds, this was the world record because I had so much sh*t going through my head and me thinking I'm dying was at the top of the list. I'm sure me being 3/4 asleep had something to do with it as well. So when my room stopped shaking I walk out of my room and ask my Mom's like "Was that an earthquake?" and I'm like "Did you feel that?" (still mostly asleep lol)..and anyway, needless to say it took me about a half hour or more to get back to sleep because I was so shooken up. After I woke up Mom confirmed to me that it was an earthquake and that it was a 5.5 on the richter scale (some sites say 5.2, some say 5.5, who cares?)
Also, as I was in the bath at around 11:30 PM and I felt an aftershock.
Just thought I'd share. 😛
I heard that the earthquake was actually felt all the way out in St. Louis, Missouri. Whew!
edit: I would've shared this earlier but as soon as I got out of the bath Friday I had to leave. I didn't have ANY time to get ready so I had no time to sit down at the computer.
