It is not long, and the shaking stops.  Mary looks to you, awaiting for you to get the car going again.  She wonders if it was such a good idea to be driving.   But does not voice this to you.   She was a bit scared herself, you never get use to earthquakes.  Even though she had gone to school in San Fransisco and had experienced these in her past.  It did not take away the fear and being scared over them.<br/><br/>You realize if you hurry, you can make the hotel before another hits.  You  have a window of about 20 minutes.
