I was over at the BF's apartment, showing her pictures of Max Beesley and Daniel Craig on the Internet. This was in retaliation for showing me her picture of Marcus Deegan from Thunder down Under in Las Vegas. Yes, she saw the show while she was in Vegas celebrationing her 34th birthday. I was aware that she had gone to a stripper show as she send me a very drunken text, (misspelled!) about the HOT stripper! Just before her companion got Marcus to KISS her!
Well anyway, I was showing her MY pictures of my lust objects, when I felt the earth move. I said "Quake!" About 1/2 second later, BF said "Earthquake!" We got up and moved in to her hallway. Mentally I was cursing that she lives on the second floor. What if it was the big one?
It was a very gentle one, (because it was centered in Mexico, many, many hundreds of miles away, even if it was a 7.2). It was gentle waves, and lasted about half a minute. BF thought it stopped about half way through. I knew it hadn't. I'm quite sensitive to earthquakes. I also had the salt headache, from eating too much popcorn at the movies. So, I was getting seasick from the earthquake. If it had lasted much longer, I would have vomited.
BF moved to her apartment landing and said she could see all of the neighbor's blinds swaying back and forth. We then started watching the news and found out how big it was and where it was located at, which accounts for no freight train noise. For you who do not live in earthquake country, an earthquake derived from a fault line near you will sound like an freight train roaring up your driveway, just before it hits.
A strong one, will make the cupboard doors snap open and shut, while the house creaks. My childhood bed had casters on it, and my sister and I rode our beds across the our bedroom, back and forth, during one in the 70's. I have been caught on the toilet during one, and this was after the movie Earthquake, and I was afraid the toilet would start shooting out water like in the movie. I tried desperately to get off, but by the time I had got off, pulled up my pants, and started to move out of the bathroom, it was over.
The ones that happen while I'm asleep in bed, are the worse, because, when they happen, I end up in the door way, but my glasses are still on the nightstand. I can't do anything with out my glasses. I'm way blind. If I had to leave the house, or the house became damaged, I would be screwed. Also, no shoes, and if I had to find them with out the glasses. . .
And, there was another one in the ring of fire. Something going to happen, or is happening. Maybe it's because of global warming?
