I don't usualy scare easy; but recently, I was scared absolutly SHTILESS!!!!!!
I'm from Austin, Tx but am going to college in Norman, Ok (yes I'm from UT territory but going to school at OU for those wondering) and being from Texas, the only natural disaster I've ever been indangered by was a huricane.
A couple weeks ago I was in my English Comp. class in the basment of the english building when something that has never happened befor happened. There was a magnitude 4.3 earthquake that originated 6 miles west of here. Being in the basment, the entire room shook and rumbled. I freaked the F*** out! But I wasn't the only one; half the class instantly dove under their desks, and on girl BOLTED for the door. It was over in just seconds but it was so unexpected that we were all so shook up that the teacher dismissed class early.
This may sound pretty damn pathetic to anyone from California (or anywhere with lots of quakes) but I was in Oklahoma, nowhere near any fault lines (so many of us thought it had been some kind of explosion) and it was the first time I'd ever been in an earthquake. It was one of the most absolutly terrifying things I'd evperienced in my entire life.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been scared shitless so what I want to know is, what scared the shit out of you, where you were when it happened, and why you think it scared you so.
