EARTHQUAKE!!!

So I survived my first TWO earthquakes!
The first one ended up being a 4.9 I believe. I was in the shower, shampoo in hair, soap on face when the shaking started. I live in an old building so I was more than a little concerned. It took about 5 seconds for me to realize what was going on and that no there was not a train going by shaking the house. It lasted about 12-15 seconds all of which I stood there in the shower with soap in my eyes, completely still trying to figure out if I needed to go running naked into the streets or lay down in the tub or go stand in a doorway, I didn't know what to do!!

Finally it stopped, but I stood there another 30 seconds or so before I decided it was safe to finish my shower and that my upstairs neighbor's tub wasn't going to fall on me!

About a week later a 2nd one hit. It was much shorter and weaker but counted none the less!

I guess that means I'm an offical Californian now! I think I like tornadoes better. You can at least kinda tell when they're coming and I know what to do when they do come!!!
