Where: All over the city
What: Earthquake!
Warnings & Notes: Event info here
Everything seemed normal at night, but things were certainly not going to remain normal for long. Earthbenders would likely feel the faint tremors before the quake itself hit. Faint quivers, whispers which arrived in the dead of night, only minutes before the quake itself. When the tremors hit, it shook the entire city to the bone. A deep split began to form up the Main Street, swallowing a cabbage cart whole. The palace walls shook, support beams groaned and splintered in certain places. Those on Water Tribe Island found themselves not only facing shaking ground, but the waves, spurred on by the quake in deeper seas, attempting to crash into their homes. Only the heaviest of sleepers would be able to sleep through such an event.
Around the city, torches were lit as trumpets sounded the alarm. Soldiers pulled themselves out of bed, driven by duty out of their homes and to the streets, attempting to save individuals from crumbling houses and opening rifts, Earthbenders fought the ground to try and still the ground and prevent collapses. Waterbenders fought the turbulent waves and stirred seas as cries of surprise and pain filled the warm night air.
