Earthquake

So it's Easter and today I had to work. While I am at work we start to have an earthquake at first I think no big deal we have been having small ones all week well this was not the same as before in fact it was a 7.2 earthquake. Now while going through this earthquake I was not scared at all it was just kind of like all wells here we go again and once the shaking quits we make sure no one is hurt and then we go outside in case of after shocks so nothing falls on us. Because of all the after shocks we have to wait before we are cleared to go back into our building so me and my coworkers sit around waiting and while we do this we eat some banana cream pie and water none of us can leave because our keys are inside so this helps to make the time go by fast.

After about 2 hours of waiting we manage to get back inside just to get personal stuff and then we are cleared to leave. So I go home to check out the damage there. Luckily everything is ok some stuff has fallen down and the water from our water cooler spilled water on the floor and ruined a few books but other then that no real damage which is great.

Like I said going through the 7.2 earthquake was no big deal right however because of all the aftershocks that happen afterwards it does kind of freak you out thinking what if it's an even bigger one so I am up and down all night wondering if this will happen but so far everything is ok.
