All day, Booger and Lint have been hearing weird noises coming from the floor. Not knowing what it was, they just ignored it thinking it was a minor earthquake. The first time they heard the weird noise was when they were at the gas station getting some milk, everyone ran franticly in shock and fear. But it seemed to stop so they went out to dinner. So they get to “Hairballs and Company” and they order the special, deep fried flies. But while they wait, they order some chips and earwacks for their appetizer. Just as they’re about to dig in, they hear the swooshing noise from before but it’s very quiet, but it keeps getting louder by the minute. They took a looked outside and saw the winds were picking up, they saw little chunks of confetti flying around all over the place. Houses were going down left and right, so everyone decided to run down to the basement into the freezer which was also a hurricane bunker. But everything started to fly away, Booger manage to stay on the ground but since Lint was so light he flew away with the rest of the restaurant. …show more content…

They talk to their dad and he tells them that he worked with a man called Lice Pecking. He says the he also worked on the boat and he could testify on the fact that Dusty really did dump his waste into the ocean. It turns out he is kidnapped and is unable to testify.

She tells them that one night she stays late and sees Dusty dumping the waste from the ship. A few days later he goes to a small pond and sees a park ranger putting up signs that say the water in the pond is contaminated from human waste.

Pignati's kids, they had to be extra careful that their actual parents didn’t hear what happened or they would have both been in a lot of trouble. They made the decision that they were still going to go to his house every day after school to clean it up and make sure no one broke in since they thought they were the reason he was in the hospital. One day while they were at Mr. Pignati's house they decided that they were going to clean everything up. To begin with, Lorraine asked John to take the trash out or do the dishes while she cleaned everything else but he was acting infantile and wouldn’t do any cleaning. After a little bit of cleaning Lorraine made dinner for John and herself when John came up with the fantastic idea of having a party with a bunch of friends at Mr. Pignati's house. That night when they invited all of their friends, they had a bunch of tiny hors d’oeuvres and alcohol for all of the kids. All of the smells mixed together made the house smell very putrid that night. The only problem was that the night didn’t go exactly as planned. People who weren’t suppose to show up, showed up, pigs from the pig collection were being broken, Conchetta's dresses were being tried on and ripped by the girls, people were rolling around the house with roller skates, most importantly, Mr. Pignati came home from the hospital early with the house in the state that they left it. That night, the police
Find two regular red bricks, or any color will do. Place them on the table side-by-side touching each other. Now push them together with a little bit of force and slide one past the other while applying the force. You will find that they do not slide past each other very easily while applying a force to push them together. As you manage to force the bricks past each other, you may notice by feeling and hearing a vibration and a jerking type of movement. You have simulated an earthquake . Now set a small toy , a rubber eraser, a coin or other item on each of the bricks and do the experiment again. You can see that the objects bounce, fall and move about as the bricks slide past each other. Taadaa! You have created an earthquake in the toy world! Now place one of the bricks one on top of the other. Put some toys on top of the upper brick and slide the top brick across the bottom brick. This is called a 'thrust' fault when one piece of crust slides over top of the other. This is much more like what happened during the Sylmar earthquake. Are the toys O.K.? Unfortunately, this is what happens in the real world too.
During the earthquake, the people of the entire island felt the shaking of earth beneath them and the building for a few minutes. In Nanto, the area of the epicenter, almost all of the buildings collapsed. In Taichung, a close metropolis, many buildings collapsed or bent. For the rest of the night, all the people in Taiwan were in the terror from numerous aftershocks. According to one citizen`s description, although the building she lived in was not damaged, her family slept in their car all night for fear that their home would collapse in the next aftershock.
Strange things began to happen the next couple days. First, Joey was in the living room of Grandma’s house making a jig saw puzzle.

Then, a dead mouse was found floating in the bottle of milk that was delivered to the front
Mr. Adams describes the San Francisco earthquake as his most profound human suffering experience because the horror of shaking floors, parts of his mom’s house collapse to the floor, and got a broken nose from stumbling into a brick wall (Ansel Adams & The 1906 Earthquake 2008). Earthquakes are part of natural disasters of the earth and normally caused by shaking ground and rapid movement of one block of rock slipping past another a long fractures in the earth crust called faults. Faults that are usually locked excluding abrupt movements, which slippage creates an earthquake (Lutgens, F. & Tarbuck, E.

Usually, their home is silent, but when one day the narrator suddenly hears something inside another part of the house, the siblings escape to a smaller section, locked behind a solid oak door. In the intervening days, they become frightened and solemn; on the one hand noting that there is less housecleaning, but regretting that the interlopers have prevented them from retrieving many of their personal belongings. All the while, they can occasionally hear noises from the other
Seated in my room doing homework, I heard a rumbling sound of huge tectonic plates shifting together in the seventh-floor our apartment. A moment later, my desk tipped over, spilling the Hey Song Sarsaparilla soda I had been drinking. This beverage is a Taiwanese version of American Root beer, except that it has more of a caramel and woody flavor. In fact, the entire building swayed from side to side. I did what the normal person would do: I dropped and covered and prayed.

Moo! Bang! Bang! Once again a moo followed by a bang! Hearing this I walked closer to the noise. I look out upon my surroundings to see some new cows in previously empty stables. I also see my owner, the farmer, and his son playing with something black, shiny, metallic, and the culprit to this new unfamiliar sound. I was afraid so kept my distance, but tried to get as close as possible for a better view. From there, I stood watching and listening. The production of noise from the son’s thing suddenly stopped, he turned to his dad and asked for more caps, but his dad replied saying sorry, we are all out. So, the farmer went to get his keys, got in his truck with his son, and left to get more caps. Shortly after they

Ok, so I guess this story happened probably about fifteen years ago, maybe more than that. One of my parents’ friends had just bought a house. He and my parents’ other friend, names being Bill and Bernie, were going to the house to fix it up before Bill actually moved in. So, they’re looking around this house, and they were working on it for probably a week or two, and during the week they had noticed that there was this black door in the basement. And it had a red X mark across it. They couldn’t open the door; it had never actually been opened before as far as they knew. But it was just sort of weird and creepy, just had a really bad feeling to it, and again the door never really opened, so they didn’t think too much of it.
It was dark that night, I was nervous that this dreadful day was going to get worse. Sunday, October 23, 1998 I wanted to start writing this to tell about the weird things i’m starting to see in this new neighborhood. Gradually I keep seeing pots and pans on the sink suddenly move to the floor. I would ask my sister but she is out with my mom and dad getting the Halloween costumes. When they got home I didn’t tell them what I saw because i've seen Halloween movies and I have to have dissimulation otherwise the ghost will come out and get me first. October 24, 1998 I think I got a little nervous yesterday with the whole ghost thing. 12:32pm, Went to eat lunch with the family today and I go to get my coat. I heard the words furious and madness,
