00:00This earthquake was a little longer than the ones I've experienced before.

00:07The last one I seen, I was at work at night and it was a little rolling and I just looked up and saw the hanging light swing.

00:15But this one seemed to be a little longer and a little more intense.

00:18We were together walking out of my house and we felt the whole house start to shake and we ran into the driveway

00:28because the house was shaking so bad we didn't know if it would be safe even in the doorway.

00:33Well, I just think it was way more intense and it lasted a lot longer and then the aftershocks were very strong also.

00:43So compared to ones that I've been in before at different times in my life, I felt like this one was a little bit intense.

00:50Well, actually I was in my bed. I was just laying down enjoying my normal day

00:55and then all of a sudden I just started seeing my entire room start to wobble before I even felt it.

01:01And then I felt it come up through the bed and I just started shaking.

01:42It was like the perfect timing, so to say, because all the bottles felt where I normally sit and enjoy breakfast and everything.

02:06But it was like two minutes. I went to go hit the restroom and whatnot, you know, and like instantaneously,

02:19And like within the 10 seconds, you know, you're in shock, of course, you know, don't know what it could be.

02:25I know a lot of bad drivers around here, too. So I was just like, I don't know what that could be.

02:29But it lasts more than 10 seconds, obviously, in something that was a bigger, the biggest earthquake that I've had experience enjoying.

02:40Did you want to see the bottles?

02:41Well, I mean, what you got the Weller Antique 107. That's the most expensive one that broke.

02:45It was a 249 Cutwater Black Bourbon or Black Summer Bourbon and then whatever this one was.
