During the earthquake yesterday we were in our apartment, resting, when suddenly the building started brake dancing :0 Everything shaked. I couldn't believe it! I didn't know that earthquakes could happen in New York. We come from LA where they are pretty common, but over here it was a big surprise. The epicenter was in Virginia and the magnitude was 5.8. I'm so glad that we were not in the metro! I read that it was pretty scary for those who were underground. But evertything is OK, nobody got hurt.
As I told you yesterday: This city is full of surprises! :o
Sweater bicycle, dancing buildings...what will the next surprise be? :)
Wow Elsa,
Fine everything is okay. The earthquake in NY is big nieuws even in our little Holland. Hope you can still enjoy your stay.
greetings from Holland

I even felt the tremor up here in Toronto- I was on the 10th. floor in a doctor's office!

Quakes are so unfamiliar to me I didn't even know what it was! I was in the library on the first floor so I barely felt a thing! I'm glad that no one was hurt.

Ayer cuando me entere del terremoto vine enseguida a ver si decias algo del tema, menos mal todo quedo en un susto.
El paisaje es impresionante, me encanta!
