EARTHQUAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We just had a terribly big earthquake, and 20 minutes later I'm STILL shaking, but now that my heart is starting to slow I feel like I'm about to cry. That was huge. Nothing broke - but it was a rolling one (30 seconds long!) it just seemed like it went on forever. It was NOT fun. Californians are pretty blase about earthquakes so I sat in my chair waiting for it to end (the cats hightailed it out of here PRONTO) but eventually I tried to make it to the doorway because I wasn't sure WHAT was going to happen. MANNNNN. I hope there's no aftershocks tonight... I'm just not up for it. update: AND all the phone lines are down. House phone and cell phones... :-( Posted by Pischina at October 30, 2007 8:17 PMComments
That was a bit unnerving. It took me a minute to react and then I started shouting at Alana to get in doorway. Only one thing fell off a shelf and broke so that was one positive. Good luck sleeping.

I do know what you are talking about--I may not live in earthquake zone now (although we had some 3+ shakers several years ago, everyone flipped because it was a first for this area but y'know? Been there, done that, wasn't thrilled but not crazy like the others, either)...but I lived in Sunnyvale the year a big one leveled Morgan Hill (6.2, 1984). I remember running to the front door to stand in the doorway, and seeing the street *rolling*. Brrr! Things like that you DO NOT forget! I am SO glad you're ok! Hugs!

The news showed pics of a liquor store in your area that was in complete shambles with lots of broken bottles off the shelves, etc. Glad you're all ok. Posted by: catherine at October 31, 2007 7:06 AMWe didn't feel it here (at our store), but my parents felt it and so did my Brother and SIL. They live in Alamo & San Ramon, so that's quite a distance from the epicenter. I can't imagine how it must have felt being as close as you were. Yikes!
