Daily Drabble Word: Tremble

Suzanne had grown up in the South and was used to hurricane activity during the summer. Her family lived far enough inland that flooding did not affect them.

The worst hurricane she experienced, while in elementary school, caused a power outage for 3 days, due to a bunch of fallen trees.

Her first earthquake experience, while on the West Coast, was while at work. The floor was moving under her feet; the work stations were swaying back and forth. Everyone went pale and started to tremble with fear. Ironically enough, she stayed on the West Coast for another 15 years.
