Tremors 2

Was asking my sis if she felt the tremors of the Sumatran earthquake. Apparently she didn't.

I was telling her weird things were happening at home when it occurred. Mum was talking non-stop to calm herself (talk about ironies), dad was preparing to leave home to go downstairs. I was continuing to watch Discovery Channel. Telling my mum if the block should collapse, I will run into the room and go onto my bed.

I frightened my dad by saying I wouldn't take the lift if I were him. Faced with a choice between the stairs (we live on the 12th floor, the highest on the block) and the possibility of being trapped in the lift, he hesitated and merely peered down to see the growing crowd gathering downstairs from the opposite block.
