Shake, Rattle and Roll

I was out shopping when DH called me on the cell and said something just exploded and shook the house. He said everyone went outside. All the neighbors went outside to look for something that it could be. He asked if I could see anything or if I knew anyone at work that might know what it was. He said the back of the house shook and he described a pressure feeling.

I told him it sounded like an EARTHQUAKE and it was. We had a 2.6 earthquake last night approx 8:45 pm. Get this, the epicenter was 1 MILE FROM OUR HOUSE! My in laws are less than 0.5 miles from it. He will check on them today.

Then during our winter slumber we woke up to feel another one. It was about 12:15 am, registered 2.7. The news stations are saying they didn't know we have a fault going through the area. We might get more or we might get one again for years. They call t his a Blind Fault.

Blizzard in Denver, heat wave in NYC and an earthquake in Oklahoma. I'm beginning to think somebody ticked off Mother Nature. "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature."

Ciao! Happy Winter Solstice!

When I heard about it on the news last night, I wondered if you were in the quake area. I'm so glad that it wasn't severe and I hope that your in-laws are fine and that nothing was damaged.
