Have you ever been in an earthquake?

This may be surprising to y'all, but yes, there's been an earthquake here in Virginia!
It was the wierdest thing - I was sitting in my room reading, and the house shook. My mom yelled upstairs to see if someone was bumping on the floor really hard. That night we found out it was an earthquake.

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance. ♡

I've been in a few.
I remember the quake of '89 in CA. I was 7 years old and doing homework after school when I looked outside that the tree in the front yard was moving back and forth. I woke mom up (who slept during the day because she worked nights) and she grew up in LA so very calmly told me that it was "just an earthquake". Well in CA kids in school go through earthquake drills more routinely than fire drills, so I ran into the kitchen and got under the table...........and was still there 5 hours later when mom was getting ready for work. See, us kids were taught to get under a table or desk and not to get out until an adult told us it was OK to do so........so I stayed under the table since I didn't know that it was safe after the shaking stopped (in about 30 seconds or so).

God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
God, Grant us the peace that comes from honest dealings so that no fear of discovery will haunt our sleep May we inflict no pain, bring no shame, and seek no profit by another's loss.

Aaah! I remember than quake. I was so young, and it was so scary! I'm just glad that we don't get very many around here anymore. I've felt a few small ones since then, but most I didn't know about until this one particularly paranoid mom at our church tells us about them. (She must be extremely sensitive or something, cause she's always telling us about these tremors and they only live like 10 blocks down from us...weird. )gimp80995 wrote:I've been in a few.

That was a bad one! I was living in Idaho at the time and we felt it there a little bit there.gimp80995 wrote:I've been in a few.

There was one at my house, in september I think. It's epicenter was in a place just over the TN\NC line. I heard on the news that they felt it in Gorgia. It was a 4.7. I was in my bed at 11:30, when my cologne fell off my dresser. I didn't think that was a good sign. It lasted about ten seconds, then slowly stopped. I have a bedroom alone downstairs in my house, and I went upstairs to see what everybody else was doing. When I got to the hall, my two brothers and my dad where talking so fast!

We get little earthquakes here all the time. No big deal. When I was little, we used to have them in the middle of the night big enough that we had to get under a doorway or a table or something. But nothing huge.
