EarthQuake!

Speaking of over exaggeration, you’d think I was dead from all the phone calls and text messages I got from out of state friends. We had an earthquake tonight north of the city by about 70 miles. The aftershocks were felt all the way to the city. While stronger than the normal tremors we get, nothing earth shattering (pun intended).

For those of you who have no idea what it’s like living thru an earthquake, it is much like any natural phenomenon. Earthquake 2006You get thru it. People live thru torrential rains, floods, tornados, hurricanes, and yes, earthquakes. Surprise!

Our building is one of the newest city buildings and it’s on rollers so we have sort of a wave affect. We’ve actually taken to standing up and doing a human wave across the room. You laugh but it is a very effective way to relieve tension.

So to all my peeps out in blogland, never fear, I is still here. (and yes I know it’s not good grammar bitches.)

  1. Glad to hear you fared well during the quake. When I lived in Oceanside, CA back in 85-86 I was lucky enough to experience two small quakes. It was very odd for this native East Coaster. 🙂

  4. Anyone else mentally singing “A quake, a quake. The ground begins to shake” from the Animaniacs? No?

    So Moby, do the 911 phones go nuts with every little tremor?

  5. Yes Joe, the phones do go a bit nuts. People who live here are pretty much used to it. The calls are most often from out of towners and people looking to see if any special instructions are being given out.

  7. Glad to hear you are OK. I totally understand all of the neighbors freakign out. Everytime there is a hurricane-a-brewin in the Gulf, all of my Northern friends think Texas is going to be demolished.

  8. Glad to here you’re a-ok. We rarely get quakes here in the DC area, but it’s happened before and it makes all the news stations. After the locals find another headline to talk about, people forget about it.
