I am glad you are physically ok. I will pray that your mental state recovers. This sounds like a very scary event. Thank you for sharing, and I hope you find peace.

This story, When It Felt Safe to Cry, is a valid account of the fear that is instilled when we have no control over such a world-shaking event. I experience an earthquake once in Okinawa and never felt so completely powerless in my life.

Another fine write, Jesse, and there's nothing as unsettling as an eatquake. Your comfort that at least if everything else is a mess, at least you can count on the ground to be stable. Hope you're doing okay?
