Earthquake Experience

We had encountered our first earthquake experience yesterday.  It started around 2:00pm and lasted about 30 seconds.  I was in the kitchen making some pesto sauce when the house started shaking.  My first thought was the kids jumping upstairs, but when I found out it wasn't them; then came my second thought.  It was either the train or the geothermo.  When all signs/reasons were ruled out, I went upstairs and tried to grabbed the kids to the basement and hide.  But then, everything stopped!  I called Johnny right away since he had a meeting  in NJ.  However, the phone line did not get through for quite some time.  So, I started emailing him.  Thank goodness, he returned my email at 2:19pm and he was all good!  He was actually giving a presentation to the clients when it happened!  :)

This was quite an experience for us.  As I looked back, nothing wasn't important except my family .  The weather has been a little unexpected lately with thunderstorms and rain.  We don't know enough about the mother nature, but being prepared... having food and water storage can ease some of the worries!
