Wow, that was the craziest tremor that I've ever felt. And it lasted awhile too. Since we don't get many in Canada, ever time I feel a tremor, I'm always doubtful of whether or not it's a tremor or maybe I'm just loosing my mind.
Thank goodness the internet was invented so that I can check more reliable sources.
The rickety old building that I'm in sometimes shake when the subway goes by. Eleven floors up, I can hear the subway, but usually can't feel anything. Next door, someone was playing really loud music that was grating on my nerves (it's usually a quiet floor), so when everything started to shake, I thought they were doing something crazy as the walls are paper thin and with this building, you never know if jumping around in one room will make the entire place shake.
I honestly thought I was imagining things and then I realized that the blinds on the windows were shaking so violently that there must have been something up.
Too bad there wasn't anyone else in the office to confirm that yes, we had in fact noticed that the room was shaking. When you don't experience much in the way of earthquakes, it's easy to doubt your instincts. You know, come to think of it, I've never been in the same room as someone else when I've felt a tremor.
