Lost my earthquake virginity today. 

Me, too.
It scared the shit out of me, because I was in a mall & I thought it was a bomb. Once I realized it was an earth quake I actually wasn’t as scared.

I still wish everyone would stfu about how it’s nbd & CA & Asia gets bigger ones all the time. That’s fantastic. I’m sure people in Kansas feel that way when tornadoes hit other states. It doesn’t make it any less of a big deal. Snow is a big deal to people who have never seen snow. Changing leaves are a big deal to people who never see changing leaves. I never experience earth quakes. It wasn’t really an overly big deal to me but if I wanted it to be then I don’t see why everyone has to get all Holier Than Thou to me about it.
