An Exciting Moment at 11:42am

I was sitting at my desk working when all of a sudden there was a bang. The floor shook. Then it happened again. "What the..." We all stopped working and stood still. Then we started shaking. It was an earthquake. I got up from my desk and grabbed my bag and my cell phone. I didn't know what I was doing, but I had to grab my bag. I was running around like a dog chasing his tail, until my co-worker went under his desk. "Ah!" I went under my desk and started to take off my shoes. I held onto my bag and my emergency earthquake bag as well. I tried to dial my sister in NY, but my cell phone wasn't working. My heart was pounding fast and my nerves had my entire body shaking. The earthquake was still going. My mind was racing a mile a minute. The building was swaying back and fourth hard. I wanted to hurl. Then it stopped.

It was happening for a while, because I was at my desk sitting, then I got up, then I ran around my cubicle a few times. Grabbed my bag. Grabbed my cell phone. Dialed two numbers and nothing went through. Looked around at the others standing there. Looked at my shoes under my desk and my emergency bag. Then I went under the desk. I did alot during this earthquake, so it shook for a bit.

I was scared. I didn't think how much worse it would be, but it was shaking hard enough to scare me. Good news is, there was no damage, but to the front of the building where a letter fell off a sign. And a plane getting ready to land here, came close to landing, when they told him to pull up. So there goes the plane. I can imagine that the passengers were freaking out.

What a start to my day.
