I've never been in an earthquake it's got to be such a strange thing to experience the first time.
Hearing tornado sirens for the first time was wild, especially as a Silent Hill fan.
On the other hand my friend moved to Brooklyn from Haiti after their terrible quake so he's in a mood right now.
- pixl97 3y agoA number of decades ago I took a trip out to California for the first time and we had reached our friends house pretty late. After driving for 12+ hours straight I passed out on the floor. In the middle of the night I was awoken by what I thought was a large truck out front, like a garbage truck or something. But it kept getting closer and more intense and everything started shuffling around in the house with a shik-shik-shik-shik noise and the blinds started rapping off each side of the window sill. When you experience something new like this where your brain kind of spins around in circles not knowing what to do, then it came back with the answer of Earthquake! which I involuntarily yelled out loud. My next thought was "Is this going to get worse, and what do I do if it does". I was in a new place that I had barely even looked at before falling asleep. Thankfully it subsided after 20 seconds or so without any major incident. Was hard to fall back to sleep that night.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoMy only earthquake experience was also in NYC. In the 80's I was awakened by what can only be described as feeling as if someone had picked up the entire apartment building a couple inches and dropped it. Sudden and severe and over in a second or two.
