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!
