EARTHQUAKE!!!!!

So Carolyn and I were reading this book on our bed together.  Ginger was playing with one of her balls near the bed on the floor.  We had just got through General Conference on the lovely Sunday afternoon.  We were in the middle of the paragraph when I felt the bed start to shake.  I did notice that the shaking wasn't the normal shake Ginger would give.  It would be more sporadic and irregular.  No this shaking was a smooth flow back and forth.  I then noticed that the door was moving and also the blinds, all at the same motion.  What is that we asked our selves.  Then it hit me,  Earthquake!  I grabbed Ginger and we headed for the doorway.  I noticed that it wasn't getting any stronger so I was not scarred but Carolyn was.  I thought that it was the coolest thing ever.  Our fish tank was swashing back and forth but no water was escaping the tank.  I could feel the vibrations run through my legs which made me have to balance a little bit.  It was all over in 30 seconds or so.  We went to the internet and found out that it came from the Baja California quake which was 120 miles away.  That quake started at 3:40 and we felt it at 3:43.  That is so amazing how fast those waves traveled.  We continued to look at the earthquake station on the internet and saw how many foreshocks and aftershocks there were.  More than 30 between the scale of 2.0 and 6.9, crazy.  The radio today said that it was the strongest they have felt in 100 years (that is the San Diego area).  I thin this morning around 4:30 our house was shook again but we were asleep and didn't notice.  I told Carolyn that I hope that another one a little bit stronger hits so we could really feel the power of the earth.  She was already packing up things and getting ready to head for home the minute we get the ok from HQ.  So now we can say that we have been through an earthquake.  Though now I would like to be in a stronger one or see a tornado pretty close up.  Which ever comes first.  So beware to all, any natural disaster can happen anywhere, anytime.  Be prepared as we say in Boy Scouts.  Listen to your church leaders and prepare for the worst.
