I've been in my first earthquake.
Didn't feel a thing. Gutted.
I've been assured there was an earthquake, and I've been assured that things did shake, there was movement, small children were frightened. Me, I went the whole day completely unaware that a child worrying incident had just taken place. My personal items remained unshook, and the only erratic movement I can recall was when I burnt my mouth with hot coffee.
I've been in my first earthquake.
I survived. Awesome.
