Earthquake

There was an earthquake yesterday and apparently, I failed to grasp the severity of the situation and how close we came to a complete collapse of modern society because I didn't panic like the rest of the people.

It was pretty tense during the earthquake of course but a short while afterwards it seemed fine. I ate a small meal and went to the gym inside the mall. The gym was closed due to safety reasons, can you believe that shit? Figures. When I do go to the gym, there's a valid reason for me not to. Anyway, I went home, read some books and then went to the school late in the afternoon only to find out it was closed. So I went home, played some Star Wars: The Old Republic and then went to sleep amidst the mild aftershocks.

It seems that while I went about my daily business, there was a great panic downtown. People were running due to false reports of water levels rising due to a tsunami. Honestly, it never crossed my mind that a tsunami was imminent but I guess I'm the idiot because people were on their roofs and heading for the hills.

Crazy.
