The furniture was alive and the floor seemed like a wavy sea. .........
I dont know how much that earthquake lasted, but for me it was like eternity.
I know Exactly how you feel.
I experienced the 1994 LA quake. that 6.9 lasted 45 seconds and it was the longest 45 seconds I ever knew. My Amiga was bouncing up and down on the desk. It survived too. Those Amiga's are tough!
It took my a long time to get over that shock - I would jump everytime something shook.
As soon as I heard this was an 8.8 I just knew it was HUGE!
I know earthquakes that are 7 can last 2 minutes.
I'm very grateful you and your family came out of this ok.
