Thunder? Earthquake? Plane Crash? I just woke up!

:eek: Help! 8 minutes ago, I was sleeping. 7 minutes ago, I nearly pissed myself. rumble roar I could have sworn a plane was about to crash right by my house. I felt the vibrations from a very close and very loud rumble. The vibrations felt like a minor earthqauke… the rumble like a B52 just did a fly-by withthin 2 feet of my window… Double:eek: I’m usually not scared but I just saw LOTS of lightning out my window… but that rumble, it was just so, unrealistic. It lasted a good 10 seconds too. Oh great, now I’m getting goosebumps.

The strangest part is, seems nobody else around here woke up. Am I going crazy?

finishes his iced cappucino and heads back to bed.
quickly looks under the bed and in the closet
You can’t rule out tummyaches for the monsters hiding there :stuck_out_tongue:

Noooo more lightning :eek:

Iced cappucino before bed? What the heck do you drink to wake up, then? Petrol?

Pepsi :smiley:
Now I figure that it was just tunder… None of my windows were open but that was really really scared. I sometimes watch lightning for the hell of it. It has an erie beauty. Last night was just scary though.

I love thunderstorms… Two of my favorite memories are:

  1. Watching a thunderstorm with my dad on our balcony in Heidelberg, Germany (circa 1986 - we lived there for six years) while drinking delicious Heidelberger Schlossquell Bier and eating saltines with smoked oysters and Tabasco.

  2. El Hubbo and I watching a thunderstorm roll from west to east out our living room window with the Minneapolis skyline in the background. Classical music in the background, snuggling…

I once awoke to a similar noise when I was staying in a homless shelter. Took me a while to realize it was just one of the other guys snoring.

OMG i had a similar problem not too long ago and I have never been so terrified.
I was sleeping (soundly) and b/f was watching the boob tube when i was awakened by the LOUDEST bang and rumble I have ever heard in my life! I jumped up like a scared cat and grabbed my boyfriends arm and screamed. He tells me to calm down, “its just thunder!”
Want to know what I thought it was?
a nuclear bomb. and being that i was half asleep, I thought my face was melting.

It was THE most scary feeling. My first thought was, “they got us”
It was awful.
