I had just gotten up to give my baby daughter her bottle when I felt a violent jolt. I knew we were having an earthquake so I tried to run into her room to get her but it was so hard to walk! I could hear things outside falling and hitting the ground, and all of the pictures in the hall were falling and breaking. I was so scared!
