We're supposed to get really mild earth movements here so thankfully I've never experienced it either. I think you capture the disorientation really well with the colour, spikes of the wave and the broken land.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06507562992976793622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-35445951631544797952021-11-08T14:24:03.541+00:002021-11-08T14:24:03.541+00:00Thank you, Nancy.

That was about the worst we experienced.

Still, I found it interesting, and it brought back a few memories! piecefulwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256164519304112032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-84191061979927506352021-11-03T19:06:57.718+00:002021-11-03T19:06:57.718+00:00This is wonderful.

I remember the tremendous sound of it, and the table skittering across the floor as the walls began to undulate. Your seismic quilting perfectly conveys the feeling as Minnesota comes apart -figuratively, thank goodness.
