EARTHQUAKE!
July 16th, 2010 by grub
This morning, around 5am, I was woken up by a loud rumbling sound and the sensation that our house was shaking. It sounded like someone was dragging very heavy furniture across our wooden floors. I woke Matt up and he ran down to check to see if anyone was in our house.
It only lasted for a few seconds and we went back to bed, mildly scared and anxious. This morning, someone called me to collect boxes that I am donating away and she said she was up, “since the earthquake.” I was like, “WHAT?” I never knew Maryland was on a fault line and it seemed like the epicentre of the earthquake was about 2 miles away from us.
This is Matt’s fourth earthquake experience and my first. I can’t say that I want to experience it again!
