Now I get it......

I'm sure that most of you have heard that there was a 7.2 earthquake in Baja California today. We definitely felt it at our house. We were rolling for about 40 - 50 seconds. I happened to be at my friend Heather's house. We were just chatting & it hit....we weren't sure if it was going to stop or keep going....it really was just a rolling earthquake. The kids were upstairs playing so we told them to come downstairs...Heather had to go get her 2 year old up from her nap (which the rolling woke her up anyways). We waited until it stopped, everyone chatted about it & then it was over.

It kind of freaked Noah out...he said, "we gotta get out here, the house is going to break". He wanted to go outside. His little heart was pounding and he had tears in his eyes. I told him it was okay. Why do I write about this......he is a little concerned about the ground moving & he just came in and said to me:

"Mom, I figured out how the ground was moving...you know how penguins walk from side to side? There must be penguins under the street walking like this (he proceeded to show me how penguins walk). That must be it!" Priceless.

I hope the people that were severely affected by this earthquake will be comforted during this time & be able to get the help that they need. There is a lot of disasters happening all around us...Time to update my 72 hour kits & stock up on more water!
