@BizSuitStacy I grew up in an active earthquake zone too. It is not my first experience with earthquakes either.
I seem to have good luck (or bad depending upon how you look at it) I have experienced earthquakes on various continents and in places that have them regularly and places that don’t. One of the most exhilarating was during a trip to Chile 🇨🇱 while staying in Viña Del Mar on the bottom floor of a hotel tower made mostly out of cement. It’s one of the few times I’ve actually run out of a building for safety reasons because both I and one of my traveling companions thought it was safer than staying in the room in the event of a collapse. Probably wouldn’t have survived either eventuality and the third member of our group slept right through it lol. We walked back into the room and felt aftershocks for a few hours. Chile 🇨🇱 is a pretty active earthquake country. I also experienced one on Maui Hawaii that was pretty surprising and forceful. And at my place in the mountains, which sits on a solid rock foundation (mostly) and that makes it very apparent when a quake occurs.
I enjoy earthquakes because I like the surge of adrenaline that comes from an unexpected event. I just don’t like the ones that have proven fatal to people (like the 1989 earthquake).
