Rumble & Shake

This morning around 5 a.m. we awoke to the house rumbling and shaking. Chris and I both sat up in bed asking each other "What was that? Was that an earthquake?" We were so convinced that it wasn't an earthquake, that we even thought maybe someone had had an accident on the road behind/above our house and came rolling down the hill or something. We looked around out the windows upstaris but nothing was out of the ordinary, no cars had crashed into our house. So after getting the girls and Samuel back to sleep, I got online and found out that yes, indeed we did have an earthquake! I don't know much of anything about earthquakes, but if you follow this link it will tell you all about the earthquake we had this morning. There are some very interesting things on this website about earthquakes, if you have time to check it out.

  1. I was wondering if you felt it. A 5.6 is nothing to shrug at. Having lived in CA I'm pretty used to them. Glad to know that all id OK. Hope to see you next week!
