It’s a good thing you listened to your ‘teachers’ when they prepared you for just this very thing happening…we do know somethings you know! By the way it still feels kind of eery outside…it’s like all of nature knows something we don’t!

Another weird note, our bedroom window was open and while it was going on I looked outside and it was completely quiet, no birds making noise, totally silent.

Well that scared me pretty well. Sampson went nuts!! He ran around the bedroom and landed on top of the bed and was still under the covers when I left this morning for work. He was freaked out!! It seriously felt like I was on a boat swaying back and forth. The whole apartment building was moving from left to right, on top of the shaking.
My first thought, Thunder
Next thought, Train/Big Truck
Third thought, Mine collasping (they underground mine about 5 miles away)
Fourth thought, EARTH QUAKE!!
What a wake up call!!

It’s definitely a feeling I’m not likely to forget. I hopped out of bed and didn’t put my glasses on, so I couldn’t see outside clearly enough to rule out insane winds right away.

It’s nice that lots of local bloggers hopped on right away and posted, the fifteen minute lag before the “real news” kicked in felt like forever.

It woke me up 4:47am. Could feel it when I stood up. Wow, got the adrenaline going! Items on shelf were rattling. Well, I guess I lived through the “big” one of 2008.

I woke up to a creaking sound of my house and my bed was shaking for a good solid 20 seconds. It was the most eerie feeling… as if some stranger had entered my room and began gently rocking my bed left to right, silently.

Shalom,
