Well, that was a first!
For me at least. The 5.9 magnitude earthquake that centered in Virginia felt from South Carolina to Canada and out to Ohio and back. My experience in Frederick, Maryland scared me to the bone. I was sitting on a couch catching up on the news of the day and heard a low rumble that got a little louder and felt a quick jerk of the house. My dog started barking, the cats jumped up from their sleep and went nutts. I thought a big truck hat plowed into the front of the house. Being that I was in the back room of the house I started to get up to go check but before I could stand up the second wave came it was what scared me the most! The furniture moved, the lights were swaying. It felt like the basement was moving one way and the rest of the house was moving the other way. The noises of the walls & windows moving and rattling shook me the most. I described it on Facebook as a giant standing in the driveway kicking the house or trying to push it over. I hate to say this but a bomb or attack of some sort went thru my mind before earthquake too. Well, who would have thunk it? I didn't have cell service for over an hour and that takes the level of anxiousness higher. When you can't check on people or check in with others, nerves get the best of you. Go figure, I had access to Facebook, but no phone. That was an experience to say the least!
