I was sitting here typing away on my desktop computer, when it started swaying. I thought I was imagining it at first. I didn't look up to see if the blinds or other things were moving, I just noticed the monitor. It was shaking, sort of like when you shake your leg as a nervous habit - I thought I was doing that and making the desk shake.
I was at home in my home office.
At first I thought it was my neighbor upstairs on his treadmill or something. Then I thought it might be the construction crew down the block. When they first started the job a couple of years ago, each time they drilled in the pylons, it shook the buildings in the neighborhood, we are on landfill. Lamps swayed, things shook, so I thought it was that.
But I realized they were almost done with the job so it probably was not them. Then I thought, "An earthquake? Could it be an earthquake? Nah."
I ran to the back balcony and looked out into the water, thinking someone was working out in the bay, again, maybe installing pylons. Nothing there, and then it popped up all over my Facebook feed that it was the residual effect from the earthquake between Jamaica and Cuba.
Your first earthquake? Cause for a celebratory "we are OK" party or drink.
ReplyDeleteSure enough, looked it up and there it was. A tectonic plate cutting Cuba in half. Hugging the SE side of Cuba for about 150 miles. Calls for a rum & coke w/lime.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised the moronic marxists havent started attributing it to the fallacy that is man made climate change.
ReplyDeleteHey Don't insult the motherland here in North Cuba with Carollo in charge.
