Funny. I remember once back in NY….one morning there was such a rumble that the house felt like it was vibrating. I figured it was a big truck going too fast down our street. Turns out, it HAD been an earthquake! LOL.
I still sometimes glance up at the streetlights to see if they’re swaying before driving up a ramp. I want to be on solid ground, not an overpass, when the next one hits.
I was born and grew up in America. Moved to Australia in 2009. I never was in an earthquake in the US. Hurricanes and tornadoes, yes.
Come 2010, we had a helluva an earthquake in our small outback town, we’re still finding damage in the house! And we still get aftershocks as well, yeesh.
No one died, thankfully, but we lost a lot of historic buildings :(

Can’t mistake the noise of a Harley for anything else. Loud enough to ‘wake up the dead’. Wonder if by 50 the riders are all deaf.

The difference? Earthquakes aren’t trademarked.®

Big trucks with jakes do it, too. Especially in rural areas.

Easterners! Sheesh! You never run to a window and open the blinds/drapes/etc. Good way to get a room full of broken glass.
