Hi Scribblers,

As most of you probably know, there was an earthquake on the East Coast today! I have lived in NYC for years- I knew we were on a fault line, but I have never felt an earthquake- I thought that only happened on the West Coast! At first I didn’t quite know what was going on…. was it construction?….a terrorist attack? The first thing I felt were slight tremors going through my body, Knowme, my dog, started barking and then things on the shelves started to rattle as I felt the ground shake!

Once the walls were shaking, I knew it was an earthquake but I was completely caught off guard. After making sure my co-workers, friends and family were okay, I watched the news and then immediately felt the need to scribble!

This is what came out of me after all the stress and tension. The words going around the scribble are a mixture of what I was hearing, thinking and feeling.

Now that I know everyone is okay and nothing more is expected, it’s kind of oddly exciting…I now know what it feels like to experience a quake!

Did you feel the earthquake? What’s your quake story? I’d l it in a scribble! Share with us
