montrael waz just hit by a quake of 4.5
I heard rumbling getting louder and louder, followed by an explosive noise as my house shook for 5 loooong seconds.
At first i thought it was a plane that went down and crashed, but then i heard rumbling AFTERWARDS getting quieter and quieter so i knew that that must be after-effects and it was an earthquake. i never felt an earthquake as much as i did last night. it was extremely freaky. my wife was shaking like a leaf, she was so scared.
You’re ok, you’re safe (you’re posting, after all). B”H for that. Must have been very frightening.
best aunt -“montrael”
Never heard of this city. It’s either Montreal or Mont R`eal.
oomis- it WAS frightening. even though i just finished mesechta brochos, i only remembered about making a brocho on an earthquake as i awoke the next morn. 🙁 B”H we are all ok and there was no reports of damage or injuries.

Reminds me of when we had the earthquake in NJ a few months ago.
I was at work and i was out of habbit shaking my leg. Then my computer monitor started shaking so i thought i was shaking my leg a bit too violently and stopped…but was confused when the monitor did not stop shaking lol.
Y’know, I don’t even know waht to do if that ever happened. I better check what is the best thing to do in case a real bad earthquake occurs…let’s see….
……………
…ok, just googled it.
says to “drop, cover, and hold on”
If there is no table or desk near you, do not try to run to another room to get under a table. Instead, stay where you are, cover your face and head with your arms, and crouch in an inside corner of the room.
I was in a 5.5 Earthquake once in California. I didnt feel a thing and when I heard about it on the news, I was upset that I missed it
okay trivia question time:
what is the proper brochah to recite for an earthquake?
first one to answer gets a free post 😉
