re: #216 Yeah Sure WhatEVs

That’s where I experienced my first and only earthquake. El Centro when I was or there working. It was a 5.9. To say it freaked me out is an understatement. I had PTSD for months. I couldn’t stop crying, like, all the time. For no reason. For months.

I guess you get used to it. Scared the holy hell out of me.

I experienced my first earthquake in Safed, Israel where my daughter was living. She had just given birth to her 3rd child. I was in bed and I heard a rumbling noise & vibrations. I was still half asleep and I thought it was a large container truck driving down the street.

When I came to breakfast my daughter said “did you know we had an earthquake?”

And I said, “No!”

She said, “you must have felt something.”

I said, “I did feel some rumbling but I thought it was a big truck.”

She said, “Look out the window, do you see a road with big trucks?” And outside the window is a deep valley with no roads & no 18-wheelers.
