So Here I am at 8:16 with My Novia with a few stolis under my belt getting ready to go out to dinner with Tman & His novia and I'm in the Presidente and the mirrors are shaking and I think I'm either drunk already, having a heart attack and about to throw a 7 or I'm having a hallucination that the room is moving....
NOPE THINK AGAIN!!!!!!! It was pretty wild.. Car alarms going off everywhere etc. No damage or anything, but unexpected and afterwards biz as usual. I guess it happens so much down here nobody gives it a second thought. My First Quake in CR though... we don't get to many quakes in Miami!
PURA VIDA ALL IS WELL IN THE GULCH!
