    A Flood, An Earthquake, A Bagel and An Eclipse

    Recently I went to Brooklyn to visit my brother, on the way there we got caught in a flood, while we were there we experienced an Earthquake and during the flight home there was an eclipse.

    When the earthquake started I was about to walk out of my brother’s house to get a bagel and everything started earthquaking. Alicia correctly identified it as an earthquake, I claimed it was the dishwasher and/ or the train. Per usual, my wife was right and I was full of shit. In my defense, I was hungry and focused on bagel.

    30 minutes later, my phone, very helpfully made a loud noise to let me know there had been an earthquake earlier, which was super helpful. The bagel was good though.

    Me: I'm going to get a bagel.Earth: * quakes *Me: I dunno if that was an earthquake, I'm going to go get a bagel.

    This sort of sounds like an epic fantasy, especially because we visited an ancient Egyptian tomb — at the museum.

    Like ten years ago, I took the subway to Brooklyn and when I got out everyone was talking about the Earthquake and I was like "what earthquake?" I wonder if when I was on the subway if I felt earthquake vibrations and thaught it was just regular subway vibration or if I didn't feel it beacuse subway

    Not My First Brooklyn Earthquake

    I used to live in Queens and when I worked as an audio engineer. One time I took the subway to a studio in Brooklyn and back then there wasn’t Internet on the subway and I was running a little late so didn’t look at my phone when I got off the train, I just kinda started hurrying, but noticed everyone was outside for some reason.

    when I got to the studio everyone was outside talking about the Earthquake and I was like “what earthquake?” I always wondered if when I was on the subway if I felt earthquake and thaught it was just regular subway vibration or if I didn’t feel it.
