Yes, I experienced my first Earthquake on Tuesday.

I had just gotten home from walking dogs and was in the kitchen. I noticed everything shaking. My first thought was that DC got bombed... I was completely freaked out about what would happen next - gasses??? a wall of flame??? Yes, I am a worry wart...

I was very happy when the shaking stopped - and Kraymer and Tucker finally stopped barking. Poor pups were freaked out as well.

I tuned into the TV, Family Feud was playing uninterrupted --- but then the Emergency Broadcast System emblem came on, but no news followed. I was like ok, so something DID just happen, but what???

I then emailed R and said I think an earthquake or something just hit --- fully expecting him to say something probably fell in the basement and not to worry.

I then checked with SpicyB thru IM and she said it was an Earthquake. Whhhhaaaaa?

Around this time I also realized - check facebook! I did and it was all over facebook already. I should have checked there first! I am telling ya people post everything going on at the moment it's going on, so it's a pretty good news source for things going on around you.

Anyways, all is well here. I am glad it was an Earthquake and not DC getting bombed... I am glad there were only minor injuries, and not many of them. We were all lucky.

Now we just need to brace ourselves for the impending hurricane Irene... good times!
