the weather over the last few months has been interesting to say the least. there have been tornadoes ripping through the middle of the country. i'm thankful that my family and friends have all been safe and unharmed.
we had a 5.8 earthquake today. i thought we were back on the west coast again! i had to check my driver's license to see where i lived. pbs was a bit freaked out but that was either because he was sitting in his high chair when the apartment started shaking or he saw my face and the way i reacted. i'm not sure either how all of his lunch ended up on the floor. he had already thrown in on the floor, the quake had shaken it off of his high chair tray and plate or i knocked it on the floor when i frantically pulled him out of the chair to get in a doorway. our water heater or a pipe attached to it broke and flooded our place and the three apartments below us. luckily, maintenance was on it within ten minutes of the quake.
facebook, twitter, texts, cell phones were all going crazy with the news of the earthquake. i couldn't get through to js and he couldn't get through to me on the phone but we were able to text and let each other know that we were ok. my brother texted me within about 10 to 15 minutes.
now we're waiting to see where irene's going to hit and preparing to possibly be without power, water, etc. for a while.
tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes...oh my!
Oh dear! But glad the damage wasn't worse! If you guys end up needing a place to stay, you're welcome over here!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about the property damage, but glad friends and family are safe! May you all continue to be safe.
ReplyDeleteIt was totally not his fault that lunch ended up on the floor. It was an act of nature. Yup. That's his story and he's stickin' to it. :)
Our thoughts, prayers, and love are with you guys. Stay safe, and stay in touch when you can.
