Earthquake story....
Remember the big quake in LA about 12-13 years or so ago? I used to drive OTR (over the road) in a semi. The day that hit, I was sitting in a parking lot in my truck, my co worker was inside the warehouse we were at.
I was reading a book when I noticed that the truck rocked a bit and the wind had really picked up, the trees were swaying and leaves were falling everywhere. The trailer doors were open and I knew I hadn't latched them in the open position, so I hopped out of the truck. I went straight to my knees! No wind, but the whole freakin' world was shaking! Being from AZ at the time and NV before that, I had never felt a quake, and the since the suspension on our BRAND NEW rig was all air and fiberglass, it had absorbed all but the most minute sensations of what turned out to be the worst quake in many years! I immediately returned to the cab of my truck!!!!
My co-driver ended up in the hospital because all the windows in the office where he had been when it started, exploded all over him and the dispatcher. He got something like 15 stitches. Me, I scraped my knee when I stepped off the truck and fell down.
That was fun........
