Well, Trinidad & Tobago certainly has had an exciting day today, as an earthquake shook this country in the morning.
Georgia from Caribbean Free Radio reports on this. According to her, she:
Just felt the strongest, longest earthquake I’ve ever felt in my life. The house felt like it was rocking from side to side
Karen from Chookooloonks also writes about this expeience, describing it as:
shake-a shake-a shake-a ("Oh, wow," I think, "an earthquake!") shake-a shake-a shake-a ("Damn," I think some more, "this is an earthquake...") shake-a shake-a ("...okay, it's stopping now...") SHAKE-A! SHAKE-A! SHAKE-A! SHAKE-A!! ("HOLY SHIT!" -- at which point I run out the door outside) SHAKE-A! SHAKE-A SHAKE-A! (I'm outside, quietly freaking out) shake-a shake-a shake-a (still freaking) shake-a shake-a shake-a (The phone rings, though I still feel the earth moving, I go back inside to answer, knowing it's Marcus) shake-a shake-a shake-a (I pick up the phone, and hear Marcus on the other end saying "It's still going! It's still going!" to someone in the room with him; I say, rather shakily, "hello?") shake-a shake-a shake a (Marcus says, "hey-- are you okay?") shake-a shake-a shake-a STOP.
Then the other one hit a few minutes ago and i was in the mall and that was even more scary people started screaming and running and ah can't lie i ran for the nearest exit too and took a taxi straight home and now i'm searching the net to see what is the right thing to do during a quake because i suspect that the way the weather has been these few days we would be having a lot more of these
Goodness gracious, that must have been a scary experience. I hope no one has been seriously injured.
I have never been in an earthquake, and I'm guessing from the writings of these ladies that it's a bit too much shaking . . .
