    A 4.3 earthquake hit about 45 minutes ago with an epicenter about two miles from my house. Shit flew off the walls, glass broke, bookshelves tottered, aquarium sloshed. We got packed and ready to evacuate because the horizon lit up orange from fires at a refinery also just a couple miles from my house...

    Thankfully i heard on the radio the fires are part of an emergency precaution and we’re safe. Man, i was ready to beat cheeks and lose everything.

    Two things were going through my head- this is what it was like for the people at pompeii, and I am waaay too high for a natural disaster right now

    • Not in an area known for earthquakes, so when his books started shaking off of his shelves he came to the logical conclusion that his room was haunted.garbage
