<@mouser> and i dont live where there are earthquakes

<@mouser> that really ****ing freaked me out

<@mouser> i got everything ready to escape
<@mouser> but it seems to have passed
<@mouser> cat is locked in bathroom in case i have to grab it
<@mouser> if it happens again im gone

<@mouser> when it happened i ran into the living room and my cat ran in from another direction too
<@mouser> we both looked at each other like

<@f0dder> glad nothing major happened!
<@mouser> yeah it was just a real shockers
<@mouser> like i said me and the cat had same expression on our face when we met up
<@mouser> like wtf is going on
<@mouser> did i just imagine that?

<@mouser> so couldnt be our imagination
<@mouser> there was 1 aftershock a few seconds after the first

That'll make a lot of sense to anyone not in #donationcoder a couple of hours ago ;D

Ampa:
I've experienced 3 earthquakes, two in the UK and one in Japan.

It is a very disorienting sensation... you know that something just moved, but because everything moves the motion doesn't add up with what your eyes see.

oldfart:
I live near Springfield Illinois and I awoke to the furniture sidling across the hardwood floor.  This is the second quake I've experienced and the weird thing about this one was the sound that accompanied it.  It was like a train going by. 

mouser:
The most important thing about this is to appreciate my brilliant sense of humour:

<@mouser> when it happened i ran into the living room and my cat ran in from another direction too
<@mouser> we both looked at each other like
<@mouser> wtf!
