You or Mark. *hugs again* Last week in my Geography class, we were getting ready for a test and we discussed tectonic plates and the map locations... not a pretty site. Lots of'em.  Earthquakes are part of nature, but have records of deep deals of trouble... Report to moderator   Logged $r.star Elijah Obsessed! Offline Gender: Posts: 904 OW! Re:Earthquakes « Reply #4 on: September 06, 2010, 04:31:54 pm » I had one here, but it was mostly felt in Toronto back in June of this year. I was doing my math exam, and I thought it was the guy behind me kicking me. When it happened again, everyone felt it. But again, it wasn't felt much everywhere I lived. My school is not 5 minutes from my grandmother's house and she didn't feel anything Report to moderator   Logged miss sixty I float away into the clouds as I am a born daydreamer. * Offline Gender: Posts: 6383 Re:Earthquakes « Reply #5 on: September 06, 2010, 05:29:27 pm » Quote from: Alliecat on September 06, 2010, 03:28:34 pm    7.1!?

Hey Raquel at least you were alright fairly small one in comparison to here!!

Well... I have never felt scared although it is not a very joyful experience... You really don't get used to them. I have a friend from Peru and there they have one almost every day... « Last Edit: September 09, 2010, 02:09:26 pm by Enara » Report to moderator   Logged miss sixty I float away into the clouds as I am a born daydreamer. * Offline Gender: Posts: 6383 Re:Earthquakes « Reply #12 on: September 09, 2010, 04:14:00 pm » We were well scared because thought house was going to fall down or something - Glad I not go Peru I'm getting used to these aftershocks they not scare me as much as actual earthquake!!

Will be interesting to see how I react with earthquakes in the future esp if planning on eventually living here in nz - will I get used to them and not be scared anymore or will I always get scared - who knows Report to moderator   Logged Pages: [1] 2   « previous next » Jump to:Please select a destination: ----------------------------- « A+F Board » ----------------------------- =>Announcements, Feedback & News ----------------------------- « Elijah Wood » ----------------------------- =>Elijah Discussions =>Elijah Photos =>Elijah Films & TV Appearances ----------------------------- « Other movies & media » ----------------------------- =>Lord of the Rings =>Other Media =>Harry Potter ----------------------------- « Other » ----------------------------- =>Misc. =>Music =>Books =>Members & Newbies =>Fun Stuff & Clubs   Always & Forever // Messageboard | Powered by YaBB SE © 2001-2002, YaBB SE Dev Team.
