Yeah I thought it was just because I was sleepy or something and my bed....wow, kind of freaky. Not much news about it now but I know my dog was freaking out a few minutes before and kept barking...eerie. | ||

After that though I started to have this vague, dream-like memory of my mom coming into my room and mentioning something about the largest earthquake in awhile (at least for this region). I thought I was just dreaming about something that I had heard or read about in California. I guess she woke me up this morning or something. Either way, unless it woke me up without me realizing it and I was doing some sleepwalking or something (which I've actually been known to do quite a lot), I definitely didn't notice it. | ||

Anyway, while the earthquake was happening, most of the nurses and people kinda were like ohhh crap and we stood under doorways for the protection. The doctor in the ED2 was with a patient and just kinda waited for it to be over, he was really chill. One of the ladies who was just wheeled in on a bed started crying like crazy and kinda panicking. The nurse told me to go talk to her, so I went over there to her bed. She could not speak English, only Spanish. So I was kinda like shaken and didn't really know what to say (only took spanish in high school), and ended up saying "hola," which was really pathetic. Another nurse came by and said to her "esta bien" then went away. She was saying something in spanish about her husband or something and crying so it was hard to understand. Anyway, after the earthquake, like almost every single person was rushing to phones and calling their family and stuff to make sure they were okay and stuff. The siren went off in the hospital calling "Code Triad Internal." Overall, it was pretty interesting. Nobody panicked or anything, they were just kinda excited. Just wanted to share the experience of what being in an emergency room is like during a semi-big earthquake. | ||

Only knew about it because of the news and this. But an earthquake at such a magnitude causes a huge amount of damage. For all those who were affected by it in the slightest way -- best of luck getting through this. : ( | ||

seriously, the earthquakes arent even in the same area. Don't know what an Earthquake in SoCal has to do with one on the other side of the country that happened over three months ago. | ||
