Ikr? I live in Syracuse and I was getting ready for work and putting my jacket on when it happened. I panicked so much as soon as I realized what the fuck was happening. Since Syracuse is by the air force base I at first thought it was a jet or large military plane. It was a small little rumble that it started but it got progressively bigger and I was like "OH FUCK ITS AN EARTHQUAKE IM GONNA DIE" I'll be honest.... I cried... A lot... My poor rabbit ran across my room and accidentally ran into the wall when he lost balance and his in a corner. So when it ended I comforted him. I've never been in one of these at this magnitude before. First earthquake was a little one in California when me and my family were going to Disney land. We all slept through it. I also don't have anything in my room to hide under whereas my rabbit has lots of places to hide. So I tried to make my way to the kitchen to hide under the kitchen table. Not my favorite experience at all ._.
