I was in a 7.5 in Mexico City, 1957, which shook for about 1 1/2 minutes. It was scary and killed close to 200 people, especially in an apartment building that collapsed (after midnight, people in bed). I was walking home from a party although the motion was more like a subway train moving fast rather than a hard shaking. MC is built on mud rather than on rock. When I experienced the Mineral, VA quake, it was a hard shaking for about 15 seconds. The tsunami warning was cancelled. It may have been a sideways slip rather than a drop at the fault line. The terrible tsunami that killed 1/4 million a few years ago was caused by an estimated drop of one side at the fault line of 60 feet along a number of miles. Same situation with the Japan tsunami that damaged the nuclear plant.

You didn’t check my stomach this afternoon. It was at least an 8 on the Richter scale. Probably a mild stomach virus or something I ate, but when it rumbles, it rumbles and no life forms are safe.

#9. Would you speak in “plane” English? I’m not a “slip” and “slide” guy myself. I prefer a good “dip” and can “crack up” after a good one.
