Earthquake

[Strangebuddy]

So...guess what I got woken up by? Anywho, how bout some stories with earthquakes getting people to fuck?

I want to get back to sleep so just one example for now:
One roommate who's use to living in a high earthquake area is taking a shower when he/she feels a quake starting. Before the water is even turned off, the other roommate runs in with a mattress and tosses the roommate down in the tub while pulling the mattress over them and paniking like crazy.

First RM remembers other RM isn't used to earthquakes and tries to calm them down as they squirm uncontrollably and keep shouting off words like aftershock with no idea what they mean. So roommate decides to play along and see how far they can push the situation before the other roommate realizes how silly she's being. So she first offers to get on top to provide the other roommate more protection and then offers to take off the roommate's shirt so she can breath better. Roommate is still panicking so she decides to shock her out of it and kisses her. Then kisses her again...and so on.

At first I didn't really saw the connection between the earthquake and getting people to fuck, but it started to make sense as I read on. It's a pretty common theme: people get in an awkward position and once they realize they start making out. Not sure how your roommate would be able to barge into the bathroom though, where I live we usually lock those while showering. Other than that it could certainly work.

Impending doom

There's always the impending doom scenario as a motivation. If you think you've only got a short time to live - earthquake, tsunami, asteroid crashing to earth, etc - you let your inhibitions go. If you've always wanted to fuck your flatmate, it's now or never! Would love to see a porn parody of Deep Impact - if you and Tea Leoni were on the beach and the tsunami was coming, not much time to make a deep impact, if you get my drift.

Quake scenario: They're camping up the western slope of Oregon's Cascade Mountains. They're already fucking when the ground starts shivering. It's a strong Fukashima-level temblor, 3-to-4 minutes along the offshore Cascadia fault, heralding the mega-tsunami that will soon obliterate everything west of the Cascades between Canada and California. "Did the Earth move for you, baby?"

Doom scenario: They're in the tsunami inundation zone. Immense orgasms, and then the waves come. Bye-bye, kids. Another doom story I'm considering: A couple in an airliner. Cockpit disaster; the plane is falling, doomed. They fuck, and cum just before the crash. This should be told in 1st-person present tense.

Another quake/doom piece: The 1989 Loma Prieta quake leveled parts of San Francisco and Oakland and broke the Bay Bridge. Were people fucking in the backs of limos or vans when their vehicles rolled off the bridge or were crushed by collapsing freeways? And another: Folks are screwing in fairly-private compartments of a theme park's Earthquake Country ride when The Big One actually hits. Are they shaken off the tracks?

Why stop with earthquakes and their aftermaths? Set erotic action in-and-around any natural disaster: cyclones, typhoons, firestorms, eruptions, meteorites, etc. A couple (or triple) is fucking away in a little sealed Airstream travel trailer; a tornado picks up the sturdy coach and deposits it (fairly gently) a few hundred miles away. A slow dam break sends a surge that not-too-roughly carries downriver a cabin cruiser or houseboat in which fucking continues. Et cetera.

I like it, though maybe it's being poor I can't imagine to people in a bathroom with a matress. Like even getting a twin into my bathroom would require the kind of strength to literally bend the thing. I'm not teasing anybody who's hopped up on that much fear strength.

The rest of it sounds incredibly accurate especially if you had a quick mind. I know from my time in the Marines East coasters flip right the fuck out with earthquakes, like start calling their loved ones and making sure you're alright if you are someone in their charge. I got quite the ass chewing because I was a bit flippant with my Sergeant calling me at like 2am for three point something. I believe my exact words were "You're fucking joking right?" (It was less funny when I magically had an extra three mile run twenty minutes later)

So the scenario as a whole is very believable, fun and quick.

PS: West Coasters/Californians freak out with any serious rain and Snow is a legendary thing for many of us. Just so nobody gets offended.

To be fair, I haven't measured my apartment's bathroom in awhile though you're right, even with a Lean-to method the roommate couldn't get through the door with a twin. Maybe she just grabs some pillows and comforters.


I do find regional differences interesting when it comes to weather/natural phenomenon. I'm use to fracking, dynamiting quarries, so small quakes aren't too big of a deal but larger ones would probably freak me out. On the other hand, tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and snow under a foot is just an annoyance (which is a bit of a safety issue when my reaction to a tornado warning is to just shrug and fall asleep)

Actually, I was considering a follow-up where the two have become a couple or at least fuck buddies and the situation is reversed when they go to the other roommate's family for Christmas and a tornado hits (I actually had to help out at a tv studio when a holiday twister hit). This time, original roommate is having visions of being sucked away by a funnel while other roommate just grabs some snacks and reluctantly goes into the basement where she finds her girlfriend shaking like a leaf in the standard tornado drill pose.

Which gives her some very naughty ideas.

I'm not "afraid" of the rain so much as if it's real rain, as in you can hear it inside with the windows closed I'm not going out unless I positively once. One accident where I hit an island that I couldn't see was enough for me.

A tornado though, I don't think I could deal with that kind of shit. It's just not in my experience tree. Dynamiting a quarry can't be but so much worse than bombs in Iraq and that was mostly annoying once we realized Saddam literally couldn't hit a military base.

Pillows and comforters sounds a lot more realistic. Especially for someone who thinks the bathroom is a good place to be, there are stories of people in tubs surviving the cave in of an upper floor so it's not entirely a bad idea. Though truth be told if possible getting outside is your winning game plan. Earthquakes don't kill people. Shit falling on you does.

Well I figured it would be either a case of her being too panicked to think straight or she thinks there's too many things that could fall on them if they got outside so she just figured the bathroom was safer (though if she's used to tornadoes she might have defaulted to the bathroom since that's usually the second best place to go if you don't have a basement or shelter, plus it might not have a window so you don't have to worry about dealing with that and have another wall between you and the storm).

Really the dynamiting was less the explosion and more the shockwave since we were a few miles away and our house would have a good ole shake (I remember we had a coffee table with a bad leg that collapsed every time they started blasting...or some pilot would pull off a sonic boom (much, much rarer but we were near an airstrip where pilots would come for the air shows). Like I said though, just a good jostle (the one today was just the outer edge and it took me a second to realize that it wasn't my neighbors working out or whatever the hell it is that they do that makes the entire building shake from time to time).

Rain can be quite annoying when it gets to be just a straight up sheet that your headlights can't do much with (unfortunately, my job has had me go out on lots of nights like that) though at least it helps me enjoy "The long Rain" by Ray Bradbury (since minus lightning monsters I've dealt with weeks where the rain just never seems to stop and it keeps coming down in just one long sheet)

LOL fun thread. The tremblors woke me yesterday, too.

No, you're fine, they often tell you to go into a doorway during a quake because they are unusually sturdy parts of a house. The tub is fine it has literally saved lives. Besides sometimes you just want to be near someone else because they make you feel safe. Wins all around mate. I don't lock the bathroom, my roomie might need it and it's not like he hasn't seen me at some point before (dude walked in on me banging my girl once. And it was hilariously awkward cus he spent most of a minute deciding if he should leave or not.)

Ditto the sonic booms and random jets reving up. Agian, lived on an Airstrip for a few years.

I think we've got a solid idea here minus the matress in the bathroom. Again, maybe I'm just too poor but I can't imagine someone pulling that shit off, my bathroom (at least the shower section) lacks the room for even a twin, you could pull it off with retard strength or some pre-planning but
