Scary incident in LA area

It was around 11:42 AM. The lunch time was nearing. Maddy was very hungry and was eagerly anticipating the break. thud... thud.. thud.. What is happenning? Was he in a roller coaster or is it the car accident? Perplexed by the situation he looked at Gulshan and Gulshan looked at him from his cabin. They were shaking. It is an earthquake!

The shake calmed down in the next 2-3 seconds. Again, a much higher shake. My God! Raj, Gulshan and Maddy came out of their places. Another one hit this time. The building was shaking like a rubber ball. Maddy was thinking of how to get out from the sixth floor. He was praying the almighty. People realised that that was an quake. The afterquake effects left shaking the massive building. Some people out there were "happily" curious and exclaimed that it is not still over.

Scared Maddy felt the quake abating and started running to the stairs. Siddharth, Tushar and Venkat were along with him. They reached the ground floor and then realised that the are in the wrong stair wheel. They ran to the first floor and then alighted via the proper stair wheel this time. phew! They were safe out. Man, Maddy was having the same fear that happened during the car crash. In Tamil they use to call it 'மரண பீதி' (fear of death). Usually, you won't know what to do at that time.

The fear of death is a state were you are in a state of flux. He thanked Heavens and God for being kind enough the second time. Maddy had his lunch in the soup plantation and returned to work. Ken showed him news in cnn. This quake was reported to be of magnitute 5.4 by the USGS. Thanks to the quake resistant stuctures built out in California. God Bless Everyone.
