Earthquake
I was delivering newspaper during the early morning hours. This earthquake hit at 5:00am. I was pulling into a residential driveway to toss the paper next to the door. As I stopped my biking felt my bike lurching forwards still(I thought my brakes were bad)Then I noticed the shrubs vibrating. I stepped over my bike and stood there on the driveway. Noticing that this earthquake was strong(and still building momentum.)The ground started to shake in every direction. I shook side-to-side, north-south, then in a circular mootion.The size of the side-by-side sway felt good for 2 seconds but I was scared. As it was building momentum, it sounded like a wind storm was approaching. I got on my bike and pedaled home as fast as I could.AS I was pedaling I saw building fall down people crying for HELP.I pedaled tell a stop sign I didn’t stop and I got hit by a semi truck and now I am dead.
