Mike and I were both at our desks pounding keys on our computers when all of a sudden we felt a quick movement of the building. We both looked at each other and shrugged it off as another minor quake. But something was different with this one, it didn’t stop. It seemed like it went on for at least a good minute. Now that could be due to the fact that we are 7 stories up and the building just continued to sway. Either way it was butt puckering. The fact that we are on the 7th floor isn’t too bad, it was just a weird feeling; the scary part is knowing that we have another five floors above us. The thought of the quake getting any bigger and causing the infrastructure of this building to collapse is…well…I don’t even know if I can put it into words. I will say that there were thoughts of possible escape routes that included the window. Now I have been through plenty of earthquakes over the years and I have always been ok with them. But I was always somewhere that I had access to a clear area standing on good ole’ mother earth. Today was very different the feeling of not having to many ways out can put a lot of thing in prospective in a person’s life.
