It's earthquake, not a hailstorm

Ever since I missed my first hailstorm while asleep when I was about 8 year old, I'm eternally waiting for one, but it always eluded me. But today, I learnt it's not something I should long for. It all happened about 11:50 a.m, I just returned with a glass full of warm water, sipping in bits to the table, pulled up my legs in typical asian style to sit in the chair while staring at my desktop. My chair slowly drifted in, as if somebody was pushing me into the table, and strangely I was pulled back instantaneously. I was in disbelief, but people around me started running down, I joined them too like on in herd.

I was scared to hell with my first ever earthquake experience. It's not so nice to experience one.

r u ok...? geez.. it sounds pretty traumatic.. i know it would scare the hell out of me too...

but as a matter of fact i have been in a couple of earthquakes.. and to make u jealous even a couple of hailstorms .. hmm.. neither of them is as much fun as ppl make em out to be ..

hail can be fun though my first time was when i was eight or nine and we were in india in this gorgeous garden that my mom cultivated and i ran to shelter under the window sill of this room as i watched the hail bounce of the road towards me.. it was.. unreal.. n awesome
