a whole lot of shaking going on

Update for earthquake Nancy. (Hurricanes get names, why shouldn't earthquakes?)
I forgot to mention that the earthquake shook our parrots off their perches. Which set the dogs to barking. So I am guessing that parrots are not fans of earthquakes. The dogs, however, may be since they like to bark.


Well, forevermore. (I sound just like my grandmother.) There's nothing like waking up to a little earthquake. Surprise! I woke up thinking, "that's an earthquake!" (Not that they are regular occurrences around here. For all I know, it could have been Godzilla walking through my backyard.) Apparently we have some damage to a couple of buildings and a water main or two, but other than that, we are all fine. Or at least as fine as we were when we went to bed. Starting the morning off with a bang here....

Here's hoping your morning is just as exciting (but without the damage!)

Wow! I've never been in an earthquake and I think it would freak me out! Glad to know there wasn't too much damage.

Oh my goodness. I never knew the Appalachians quaked. I thought you had to live on the San Andreas fault to experience that. So thankful for you and your family's safety. What a way to start a day. Singin' Elvis's "I'm all shook up!" Blessings for a calm day of joy to you. Love, Annette

Wow!! I'm glad everything is ok and you are all safe. Who knew? I lived for a while in S. Cal. and only went through one earthquake. I was driving at the time and didn't even feel it. When I got to work, I didn't have any idea what all the fuss was about. LOL!

Oh, and I like the Godzilla line - pretty funny!
