That 14 seconds felt like an eternity. Earthquakes suck, you feel so hopeless and insignificant, all you can do is wait it out and let what's gonna happen happen.

I was 30ft up in the air in a steel post at the nuclear plant and it started swaying. I was like ****, I hope this isn't the big one! I saw the waves get bigger too.

that was crazy because here in AZ I was stopped at a light and the earth felt like it was moving and I thought I was dizzy as hell but then it stopped then the light turned green... I doubt it would be felt all the way here would it?
