    Early Morning Quake

    By mhen913  |  Posted April 19, 2008  |  Carbondale, Illinois
     

     

    I work third shift at an office that's essentially a big open buliding filled with cubicles.  When we first felt the shaking, we thought it was thunder.  But it just kept shaking, and somebody said, "Maybe it's an earthquake!"  This was my first earthquake experience, so it didn't even cross my mind until someone said the word.

     

     

    It went on for about 20 seconds.  I remember seeing the hanging plants shaking in the air, and afterwards, all the framed posters on the wall were askew.
