I’ll never forget that day just because I’d never experienced an earthquake before, yet somehow I instantly knew that’s what was occurring. I was sitting at the kitchen table eating lunch when it happened and my mom and I just looked at each other. I said “that must be what an earthquake feels like.”
I walked outside just to look around, everything was normal. I came back in and we turned on the TV and David Crabtree was on WRAL saying we had just had an earthquake centered near DC.
I was in my car driving on 751 near Jordan Lake. Did't feel a thing but saw a huge flock of birds swarm out of the trees overhead and got an eerie Alfred Hitchcock vibe. Got to mom's house and they told me there was just an earthquake.
I was in downtown Raleigh on the 4th floor of our building. I've never experienced one before, but it was like I instantly knew what it was, just like GarnetAndBlack said. I promptly stood under the threshold of my office door and stood there until the shaking stopped, as they say you should. Then I witnessed a co-worker running down the hallway screaming that she needed to get out, which is what you're NOT supposed to do. Weird feeling...
At work with the boss upstairs in the attic working with the computer server. A sudden shaking, thumping, and ceiling tiles rattling. Afraid he had fallen or something until I hear him shout, "What the heck was THAT?" Went on line and got the news.
So me and My Little sister were watching TV and I was really bored because she wanted to watch Cyberchase on PBS and that's what we were watching. Suddenly the Cabinet holding the TV starts to shake and I'm like.
"Can You Please Stop shaking the Cabinet"
And then I see her beside me and after a few seconds of thinking I run to the living room scared.
Yep, I was doing some work in my house in Franklin and suddenly felt like I was in a small boat going over a ocean swell. Didn't make me seasick but the motion was certainly the same. I remember thinking "That's wrong..."
I was on the second floor of a three-story apartment building. A very weird experience to put it bluntly.
