"I didn't know what was happening! I thought it was a bad dream or that a giant was under our house shaking it wildly!
It was hard to get to the doorframe. We stumbled from side to side, it was almost like slow motion running because our floor was moving all over the place! First the house moved crazily from side to side then it started rolling like a bowling ball rolling down a bowling aisle."
