shower and earthquake

Around five in the evening I was walking
along the street, when it suddenly got dark
and began to rain.

Recently we have had heavy showers in the evening,
sometimes in the afternoon. Why?

At 7:56 p.m. an earthquake shook
my old wooden apartment.


How many minutes did the earthquake last?
I felt as if it went on for a few minutes.
It actually continued for 30 seconds or so.

What should I do? I wondered.
I felt a vague panic.
