Honest question. What's it like being in an earthquake?
Also, how do cats usually react to them?

@catsalad i was only in a minor quake, but i imagine it being like having a stroke without the pain or vomiting
One minute, you're doing your thing. The next? Everything around you starts moving. Depending on how close you're to the epicenter and how strong the quake is, things either vibrate or start moving side to side or side to side and up and down. Feels like a giant grabbed the building and is shaking it. If you're outside, you see everything shake, rattle, and roll. It's a little scary, but not terrible.
@catsalad just felt like... Shaking. I kinda heard it first. My tinnitus started acting up in a weird way, and a bit later there was a minor earthquake.
I was also in a separate earthquake, inside of an old building that was already structurally unsound. That time was a bit scary. Part of the ceiling caved in
@catsalad imagine everything start vibrating. Idk. Never been in an earthquake that I actually felt.
@catsalad
Disturbing AF, even a mild one.
Everything shakes back and forth slowly.
@catsalad Depends on the magnitude. For the lil ones, it goes like "Is that a big truck or a quake?" And then you check feeds to confirm.
For the big ones, it's an "oh-shit" then scramble to get yourself and your people to the safest location until it's over. Not a fun time.
