Muffin...Wow...it was a wiggler alright
what it does is it shocks you off of your high horse by showing you how flipping small you are. Quite the experience. WHat's more is that because of the nature of the logistics of the structure in relation to the local topography makes me especiallly likely to feel the maximum affect....Cali is on the ring of fire and surely from the vantage of the gods is special in their eyes...Cali shows her teeth!!!

Re: It's a good reminder that we are only significant
Harderup....Yes, I felt so small and tiny during that s l o w motion experience. That, I think is one of the heavier aspects of an earthquake, one I hadn't fully grasped consciously till you made mention. The bizarre d i l a t i o n of time. Strange phenomenon. Nothing like an earthquake to reground a soul! Paradoxical yes?

I experienced an earthquake in 1987 in California. It was like time stood still as I watched the oranges fall down in the pool like huge raindrops.
