Whole lotta shakin' goin' on!

Whew, Nellie, we had an earthquake this afternoon. 5.5, apparently. There I was, eating my lunch, watching Law & Order, and my bookshelf starting to make odd noises. Also, move. I didn't hear any large trucks passing, so it finally occurred to me that we've had an earthquake. One poor cat was meowing away, the other is in hiding somewhere.

Something a little different in my day, that's for sure!

Wow, I didn't realize you had them where you are! We had small one here in WA and people went nutso. Although I think it was a 5.5 at epicenter, what we got here was much lower.

I hope your cats calm down soon lol

I heard about it on All Things Considered this afternoon. It is a strange sensation. We were out in California visiting my in-laws when one happened out there.

The epicenter was almost 100 miles away from where we were, but we felt it. I thought that Lucky was trying to rub his harness off against my chair again, when Dad pointed out that the light fixture was moving. Joe was out for a walk, and he didn't even feel it.

Hope the cats are recovering.

The Count meowed and went back to sleep. We didn't see Luis until the evening. Then we had a thunderstorm. Poor guys!

And there's a new cat in town. S/he was on our front step, having a stare-down with Luis. The Count was in our bedroom, so I quickly shut the door to stave off Cat Wars III. That worked - whew! I've had enough of that, believe you me!
