Numb from the fright of the quake just past.  Susan would slide down towards where she dropped the bathrobe handed her.  Picking it up, she would clutch it in hand.  She look to you then Matt with a bewildered look.  She had not quite caught what you had said.<br/><br/><em>"You-you been through earthquakes before?"</em><br/><br/>She never been through one before herself.  Hurricanes, yes  but never a earthquake.  An through she respects the mighty storms.  She did not fear them,  not the way she just was scared out of her wits by the quake.
