makes you feel small ...
After a strange dream about eating fresh fruit while wading out to sea, I woke up to rumbling and shaking - unmistakable even though I've only been through two other slightly memorable earthquakes: the 8.28 one and one in San Francisco, 1998 or so - it was so minor and I was in San Francisco, so I didn't think a whole lot of it. The Advertiser says this morning's major one was 6.6 ... For some reason my instinct was to get back in bed, so after my bewildered brother and I almost collided in the hallway, I grabbed him and pulled him into the room, then dived back under the covers, all the while thinking, I'm supposed to be in a doorway.
The sound had to be the scariest part. Hollywood does not exaggerate all that much when they put in sound effects for earthquake scenes.
Going to go ... um ... grade papers by flashlight now.

Glad you're OK. Otherwise I'd be stuck reading someone else's blog. Never been in one, I've lived in earthquake-safe environments.
funny, i always thought hawaii was an earthquake-safe environment
time to move then. the midwest hasn't had an earthquake in the last couple of years... no devastating hurricanes pass through either. unlike the south. no massive snow storms that put cities under a few feet of snow like the east coast. we get enough snow to have fun then it goes away.
yeah but don't you guys get tornadoes?
that's kansas. and oklahoma. pretty much anywhere with an excess amount of trailers and guys named cletus.
