I was born and raised in So. Ca. In 1971 I was 14. Then 1994, 23 years later; the memory as vivid as the first one.

Then there was today. You know when it starts a shaking, exactly what it is. Just as terrifying as the first one; so many years ago.

Thank you, I am too. Even though you know what it is, it startles you never the less; as they happen far between. This one shook so hard, for so long. You feel immobile.
