Earthquake

Everyone has been asking me about the earthquake that we had here on Sunday evening.  Sorry folks, I was on the subway at the time, on the way home from Long Beach, and didn't feel a thing.  Honestly.  My roommate and I weren't even aware of it until we got home, and then people started calling about it - and I watched the news.

I guess it was pretty dramatic - a 4.7 (though at first they said it was a 5) - and centered in Hawthorne.  A store in Long Beach lost its windows too (funny that we had just left there).  I consider us lucky that we weren't burried underground, lol.  But seriously - no, we didn't feel a thing.

Watching the news was a little scary, just a little - but they were talking about what people should have in their emergency kits and stuff like that - you know, to get ready for "the big one".  And everything I learned growing up is false - you do NOT stand in a doorway, or go outside.  Where's the best place to go during an earthquake?  Under a table.  Yup, that's what the experts say - at least according the local news experts.  So we have ONE table in the house - and we won't fit under it together.  I guess a game of "rock, paper, scissors" will decide.

Let's just hope there's no "big one" while I am walking this earth, lol.  And if there is - I'll do what I have to do to survive - and no, I won't shoot the roommate.
