Have you ever been in an earthquake ?   Yes , I experienced one when I was in Tokyo once . The tremors only lasted a few seconds though and then it was over .   Do you know where it measured on the Richter scale ?   I don't remember , but it wasn't very serious . Have you ever been in an earthquake ?   No , but I was in quite a few tornados when I was younger .   Where are you from ?   I'm from the plains of the Midwest . It's a prime location for tornadoes .   Did your house ever get damaged from the winds ?
