OK, I am sure it had nothing to do with the fact that I got hammered drunk on Saturday night and was so hungover that I only got up off the couch for one of 3 things; 1) food, 2) loving from my honey or 3) a shower. However, when I saw my whole house shaking and heard the grumbing I was FREAKED OUT! I heard it first then saw my house sway back and forth. Nothing fell or broke, it was a slow sway. I grabbed my bf's arm and was like WTF! We looked at each other for a second then ran upstairs to check the earthquake website we have bookmarked. Sure enough it said it was a 5.0 (later downgraded to 4.7 but who's counting!). What a trip, I was so freaked out. It wasn't the first one we had felt but was definitely strong. Then the news stories started pouring in and of course they get the most uneducated person on the phone to talk about how things were shaking and falling and all of that. That part was entertaining to say the least. It is so funny to me how much drama the news brings to the table. The way they were reporting it you would have thought the big one hit. Too funny. Like I said above, I was freaked but my bf, like always bless his heart, set me straight. If it had been a tornado or hurricane we would have had some damage. This little earthquake (no reference to the Tori Amos song but it is now in my head!) was nothing to be concerned with.
Just some random thoughts on earthquakes.
