3/11 Experience

I remember sitting in class, getting ready to pack up to leave for the weekend, when all of the sudden the whole buidling started shaking. At first, no one thought anything of it, earthquakes happened all of the time, it was sure to end soon. But it didn't, after a few minutes, and the shaking got harder and we all knew that this wasn't like any other earthquake. As soon as the earthquake ended, everyone started rushing down the stairs to asemble on the field. We were all in shock of what we had just experienced. Although it was a big earthquake, we all knew that this wasn't the epicenter, and there was somewhere else that had experienced much worse.
