am coffee and earthquakes?
ugh....... thought the story about the snow plow driver was funny . well this one isnt .
i am sitting here at my pc getting ready to post to my knitting blog when the house shook. not to bad and i am thinking who is moving heavey equipment this time of the am. i got used to that when they were moving the debree of the old chruch across the way that burned .
but something said stand up and take a look see. cause the shaking got worse. all i did was get up and step into the frontroom and the old hurricane lamps on top of the entertainment center were rocking wildly and making that glass banging sound. the house began to sway and not gently at all.
i began to feel massive fear and began to yell at my sleeping grandson on the couch and my hubby in the bedroom "EARTHQUAKE EARTHQUAKE!!!!" none of us was dressed or ready for this at all. and to run out in our pjs in this cold alaskan weather would have been just as bad as standing still in the middle of a door jam . our grandson didnt move one inch but hubby ran as he could to the bedroom door.
we found out it wa a 5.7 or greater center of which was about 100 miles away.
that is way to close for comfort for me .
our daugher called from the valley " mom did you ??????? i said the earthquake sure did she said " i thought that was what it was thought i was loosing it and feeling things that werent happening. finally she said it shook her home so bad her front door popped open.
am i still in my pj's????? not on your life. no way i went right to my room and got dressed. shoved usb port plug and plays in my pockets a flash light my usb port sony walkman
and my cell phone and adapter so just in case if i have to i can recharge it.
jsut the basics i got one of those usb ports that i can back up the pcs with 8 gigs
after the fire across the street and having to grab and run then i am slowly working on getting everything down to shove in pockets and run leave it all behind that is to bulky to carry.
oh sigh what a way to begin a day.
