Five Point Eight On the Richter Scale

They say there's a first time for everything My first time ever feeling the unsettling effects of an earthquake Albeit, it was ONLY 5.8 on the Richter Scale It happened during our holiday in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic We were roughly 60 km from the epicentre But still found it a little unsettling to say the least The locals didn't even break a sweat They experience on average 150 of them a year However there was definitely some rocking 'n rolling going on At first I thought it was one of those people movers going by Transporting folks around the resort Then realized... YIKES! That was a FREAKING EARTHQUAKE!!! All's well that ends well And I'm still alive to tell my tale! Great place to vacation but you wouldn't wanna live there!
