Shake Shake Shake
No, not milk shake.
A magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck near Alum Rock this evening at 8:04 p.m, and followed by 7 after shocks under 2.0 in the next 20mins. The quake struck along the Calaveras fault, very close to the new place my cousins just moved into weeks ago.
I was at the local Wal-Mart store, actually, just walked in. I didn’t feel the quake, but heard a loud thunder noise, and getting louder gradually. Next thing you know, seeing people fleeing the store and heading to the open area. As I was walking out, the quake stopped, then I heard things falling from the shelves, glass breaking on the floor.
I tried to call home to make sure everyone was OK, but obviously, in a situation like this, cellphones never worked, lines always jammed. Everyone I saw standing in the parking lot was on the cellphone, calling and complaining.
