QUAKE!

So there was a level 5.4 quake in the eastern part of LA today. Jackie must have been scared out of her mind but even i felt it and im in SD. LA and SD are about 150 miles away and it was only a 5.4 and my entire building shook so i can't imagine what it was like in LA. It was kind of scary and so i started resaerching quakes like the one that hit China.

The china quake was about a level 8 quake. That means anything in the epicenter of the quake is crushed especially in China where building integrity isn't as good and it could be felt over 1000 miles away. I had no idea how crazy a quake is until i felt it today for the first time. Literrally everything shakes like your whole body vibrates and the building just rumbles and what i felt was like a tiny fraction of what happened.

Man u walk on the ground thats always sturdy and firm under your feet and once u lose that faith its pretty scary cus u have no idea what is going to happen. The entire earth is just moving under you and u have no stability no matter what you hold onto or try to do.
