Hate it when the floor breaks under your feet!

Sufficiently uninteresting post to move from the top, but still interesting enough to keep. It's just out of context. But it was still strange to have the floor pop out from under me.
This posting from 12/17/10 has been moved to fit in at 11/01/10 because I don't want it to be on the top.

Hate it when the floor breaks under your feet!
Especially in your own home!

Was just sitting on the couch and the floor starts making all this noise under my feet! All this cracking and breaking. Felt like things were moving! I've been hearing sounds like there was someone in my apartment dropping things for weeks, but I don't believe in ghosts. The weather today is beautiful, and it's been a few weeks since the little earthquake, so I didn't know what was up. Could there be people or animals under the floor?

The cracking and breaking gets so loud I unlock the door and run out into the hall. POP! goes the floor, and with a big puff of dust the floor tiles came up. Made me think the floor was going to cave in. I suppose it's just that the floor tiles were put in too tight, but I was left with a upside-down V-shaped floor. After calling around to be sure I was safe, I am back inside, but hate to walk on it. I had to a little, and some tiles fell back down a cm or so. Now the ground doesn't feel solid below my feet!

Sometime I need to add the pictures of the floor.

It felt pretty scary.
