What is a simple shudder for Earth is a life-changing event for its inhabitants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive of those are members of the Painter family. Anita and her twin sister had just ten days ago turned twelve, and the family's trek to Yellowstone is a birthday celebration. Little do they know this night will slam the two girls, on the cusp of youth, headlong into adulthood. The 7.5 magnitude earthquake rocks the entire region, defacing the mountain and sending hurricane force winds and river water tearing through the campsite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnita's personal account of this night is a frightening and tragic story of panic, horror, and courage in the face of disaster.
