Earthquake!


Wow! Nothing got knocked over, but it sure was an exciting earthquake. Seemed to go on for a minute or more. Came on kinda strong then diminished, then came back a bit stronger. Could feel it still rumbling for a minute more. It was measured as a level 3 here and a 4 in Tokyo based on the Japanese method of measuring the magnitude. CNN is calling it a 7.1 off the coast.

Definitely felt that one!

Update: One book just fell out of the book shelf... an hour after the earthquake... Both the book and the floor are fine! :)

Glad you're all ok. Earthquakes alway scare me. I didn't realize you had a blog until Marilyn was here and she left it up. You do a great job with it. Lots of fun tid bits and it's been great to catch up.
