Unexpected Fear

We had an Earthquake yesterday which is rare for us East coasters. I was at work when i started feeling this vibration and my first thought was that it was a big truck or it was because of the construction going on across the street. When everything started shaking including the entire building i realized "this is an earth quake!" I quickly got under my desk and messaged my boyfriend about it. I was afraid the ceiling was gonna cave in. It felt like it lasted forever which was more like 30 seconds or less. The earthquake registered a 5.9 on the scale. It was the biggest earthquake on the east coast in over a decade.
