Earthquakes are Scary!

Today my sister, mom, and I went dress shopping at David's Bridal. I was looking for a dress for a wedding.
All of a sudden the floor started to shake tremendously and there was this rumbling noise... My mom and I started running out along with everyone else, while the lady was yelling, "Everybody out!" As I was running in my very long dress and bare feet, I started seeing bits of the ceiling flying everywhere. It was very scary and none of us knew what had happened.

We all got outside safely, but were still trying to figure out what happened. A few minutes later, the news reporters said it was a 5.9 earthquake! It was felt from North Carolina to even Canada!

There were a few aftershocks and damaged reported as well, although I do not think anyone was hurt.

I am so thankful that none of the falling debris hurt us! Did you feel the earthquake?
