Earthquake!
Okay, so this is old news now. About 12 hours ago a 5.4 magnitude earthquake hit Southern California. I felt it. Well, more accurately, I saw it. I just stood there in shock, watching my mom’s flat screen TV sway front to back, over and over…I grabbed the arm of the couch and briefly thought about heading for the doorway, but it was over. My mom actually was on the phone with her doctors’ office, and the girl told her, “There’s an earthquake.” She repeated it to me, and we were kind of confused as to why she thought that, but then it hit a few seconds later. My dad is in San Diego for the week and he said the high-rise building he was in shook for an entire minute. Which is crazy, because we’re in L.A. county and thus much closer to the epicenter. Anyway, that was my excitement for the day!
