Shake, Rattle, and Roll!
Mar. 28th, 2014 10:15 pmRellies in town this weekend. Two of Mom's first cousins, to be specific. Cousin Gretchen arrived today, so we had her and my parents up here tonight for dinner. Squiddle was, of course, soundly adored.
Then, after everyone left, Wonderful Husband, the Squiddle, and I were in the office. I thought I felt a minor quake shiver through, as I did the other week during a sleep-deprived early morning feeding, but sometimes it's just Wonderful Husband exhibiting Restless Leg Syndrome.
Just as it turned out last time, though, this wasn't my imagination.
My sister Skype'd a bit later, and while I was lying on my bed talking with her, the house started going to town. Baby's first earthquake! It was strong enough that I grabbed the baby and bolted for a doorway, then all of us booked outside to the driveway once the shaking stopped.
(Sister's comment: this is one of the things she doesn't miss about California.)
Turns out the one I felt earlier was a 3.6, the large one a 5.1, and we both felt one sharp aftershock of a 3.6 a bit later. All centered just about four miles due north of us. I'm still feeling smaller tremblers.
Viva la vida California!
