Whoa!!! Did you feel that?

Holy-moly, did you feel that? I sure did. I thought it was gas and my tummy was rumbling, but then I started hearing car alarms... Then the lights started to shake... Then the cupboards started to rattle... Then the big sliding door started to move. It was a EARTHQUAKE!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!

Actually, this was my second earthquake, but only the first one that I felt. It was a pretty good one too. According to the USGS Earthquake Center, this one checked in just 9 miles north of San Jose, CA, and at a magnitude of 5.6.

Anyhow, all is OK now. Everyone is fine and nothing broke, although mom and dad were a little freaked out. I think they said if they had to choose, they would rather go through a tornado than a big earthquake.

Keep it steady,
