I just survived my first REAL earthquake! I've been in a couple where you hardly realize what is happening until it is over- not so much with this one. This was kind of a slow build- It started out smaller where my desk and monitor were shaking, and everyone in the office realized it was an earth quake. Everyone just kind of stopped what they were doing and started giggling in that way you giggle when something really strange is happening. I, on the other hand, think I shreiked. Totally understandable, but I also covered my mouth with one hand and my head with the other, like that was going to protect me if any debris started falling. I started to climb under my desk, but remembered that was for hurricane/tornado drills circia 3rd grade.
Then it just kind of stopped, and that was it! Pretty cool...
