I was listening to the news yesterday and they were talking about the earthquake that happened in Fox Creek. They had mentioned that it was felt as far away as St. Albert.
My first thought was that that was silly. I work in St. Albert, and I didn’t feel a thing. Then it dawned on me that I had.
On Tuesday it sounded like the building cracked. It felt like a big gust of wind had suddenly hit the building. But if you looked outside, none of the trees were swaying in the breeze. I forgot about it soon after. Until I put two and two together with the news report.
This was my second earthquake that I was aware of.
My first was in the Dominican Republic several years ago. Back then I thought it was a gust of wind as well.
I have apparently been in another earthquake but not been aware of it. This was in Los Angeles. I didn’t feel anything, but my friend immediately left the building. She was an expert at dealing with them I guess.
