預言者之震?烏鴉嘴之震?



終於來了。

"Earthquake!" Shouted like a grandpa.

Centered just east of Los Angeles. Felt all the way in Las Vegas and San Diego.

Aftershock at 70% chance? hmm... Let's see what is going to happen in the next 7 days.



"Aftershock!" Shouted like a grandpa, still.


剛慢跑完坐在健身房休息,突然感到有點暈眩。First I thought it was me with such a weak body which was not endurable.

接著我看到對面樹叢的鳥群飛出來,然後開始感到明顯的震動,我想是地震。我有夠天兵,有樓梯不走,竟然還搭電梯上樓回房間。事後想起來真是捏一把冷汗,尤其是這幾具電梯經常故障。

走廊上的防火門自己半掩了起來。有些住戶跑了出來,有驚無險的樣子。老實說,這地震的強度並不令我驚訝,因為以前遇過更猛的,而且似乎也沒強到造成掉落物或是嚴重傷亡事故。

我是烏鴉嘴

兩天前,我在the old city hall of San Gabriel用餐兼欣賞百年葡萄樹。席間我問了長輩,到西岸來之後是否遇過地震,答案是沒有。或許我不該問。

一個小時後的現在,trojan alert簡訊姍姍來遲...
