I Felt the Earth Move Under My Feet part deux



Last night wasn't the only time I've felt the earth shake. And when Jeff told me it was only rain & wind, that was enough to convince me to go back to the comatose state I had just gotten into after checking on Gabe's temp at 3 am.
Little did we know just two hours away, a pretty sizable earthquake was making the charts.

It got me thinking, would I know what to do in the event that it did more than rattle our windows & cause our frames to be less than straight?
Turns out, I wouldn't have a clue, I took this quiz & failed miserably. I guess all that training back in high school (thanks to Nostradamus' big scare) was only stored in my short term memory bank. And stop, drop, & cover is all I remember.

Yikes, I am certain that I wouldn't know what to do either? What did it feel like?

How's Flynn's allergic reaction doing? Better?

If it means anything, I completely slept through the first quake, and never even felt the aftershock around 11:00 (others in my building did, but no one in my area of the building felt it). I took the quiz, but didn't do as well as I'd thought I would--60%.


This is Kim z, btw.

What a freaky thing! If we would of had a rumble hear I would of thought nothing of it...I would assume it was the train going through or a big truck coming down the street. I guess you never know what can happen where ever you live!

Sleeping through what was the tremors of an earthquake...WOW. Glad you did some research on what to do if something BIGGER happens.
