Book Cover & Preview Text
January 12, 2010, Tuesday, 5:00 p.m. EST Joyce and I had just entered our apartment on the third floor of our guest quarters and had sat down to rest, when we heard a noise from outside sounding like a thundering herd of freight trains. Immediately, we were thrown up in the air and then onto the floor, but the force didn't leave us there. We were blown around the room like dandelions in the wind. Tables, chairs, lamps, mirrors, knickknacks, and books came flying by us, coming from everywhere in the room, whipping around as though they had no weight at all. The building's vibrations were so powerful we couldn't stand up. Somehow, someway--and I really don't know how--I grabbed hold of Joyce and put her in a chair. I covered her with my body, because I knew the concrete ceiling and walls were going to collapse down upon us. Then we waited for the end.
