Earthquake Narrative

On 3:30 p.m. on Easter Sunday an earthquake hit Mexicali Mexico. It was 7.2 on the Richter scale. I was sitting on my parents couch watching an old movie with my mom both my sisters and my sister’s boyfriend at the time. When I first noticed the shaking I thought someone was moving the couch but then I saw the TV rocking and I knew it was an earth quake. Even with this knowledge I didn’t feel any real fear until my mom’s mirror fell off the wall and shattered. The feeling that I could no longer trust the ground to stay put was extremely unsettling. But because no one was hurt and there were no major property damage I feel this was a fascinating experience.
