Natural Disaster
I don't own any of the SOA characters.
Juice was handing a wench to Piney when all of the sudden he was thrown off his feet as the ground beneath him moved. As he hit the floor he saw car parts not just falling from the shelves but the shelves themselves collapsing. He could hear the other mechanics in the garage shouting in fright and some of them he saw falling to the ground just as he had done. Over by the car that he and Piney had been working on he saw Piney fall to the ground, landing slightly underneath the car as the jack that was holding the car up collapsed.
In the office Gemma was talking to a customer about a bill as she and the lady both felt the first tremor hit, as they rushed outside they could see buildings shaking and the few bikes that had remained when the others had left for the run yesterday fall over. Car alarms were going off on the cars that had them and they could see people either running about in panic or lying on the ground. Having been thrown off their feet, in fact as they spotted the first of the people on the ground Gemma and the customer both lost their balance and were thrown to the ground themselves. They could hear the mechanics behind them in the bays shouting as things toppled over, and some of them running to get out of the building. As Gemma turned her head to look into the building, the roof collapsed coming down on thoes who had not yet managed to get out of the garage.
In Charming PD, Unser was just getting a coffee when he was almost thrown off his feet but he managed to stay upright by holding on to the table but he dropped his coffee mug which shattered on the floor. Hale was in his office and as he lurched to his feet to get to the door the glass in his office window broke, shards of broken glass flying in all directions. He tried to protect his face and head and felt a few sharp stinging pains in his arms as they were peppered with pieces of broken glass. Screams could be heard across the station as files and paperwork fell from bookcases and desks, the whole building shaking as if it was about to collapse around them.
All over Charming people were caught unawares as the tremor caused its destruction. On main street the center of the road suddenly opened up as the tremor caused the road to collapse and several cars dissapeared into the gaping hole that appeared. Shops and businesses suffered damage as things fell over, windows broke and some buildings even collapsed from the force of the tremor.
At TM, just as the tremor had hit, three bikers had pulled into the lot and 2 of the riders lost control of thier rides. Fortunetly they were not going that fast however the third biker was not so lucky as a second gaping hole appeared right in front of him and the NOMAD and his bike disappeared into it. As quickly as the tremor hit, it stopped but before it did the two bikers who had come off thier rides saw with horror the roof of the Teller Morrow garage collapse and they could see people on the ground outside the collapsed building. They could see one of those people being Clay Morrows 'old lady' and as they got to their feet, the taller of the two men signalled to his friend to check on their fellow rider as he went to check on Gemma.
As Gemma felt the tremor stop she felt someone kneeling down next to her and looked up to see a tall, heavily tattooed man, it was Happy. As he helped her to her feet making sure she was alright she could hear people screaming in confusion at what had happened. She could see that roof of the garage had come down and she was certain that she had seen people still in there when it had happened, she shook her head in shock at what had just happened but she knew she had to be strong and get things moving.
In Charming PD, Unser and Hale looked at each other and then at their wrecked station, just as it sunk in with both of them that something very bad had happened. As they marshalled their forces to go out to help the town of Charming they neither of them could know what was yet to come and how 'bad' it was going to be.
