Another first ...

My first earthquake!  Okay, so maybe it wasn't *really* my first, but the one in Chile where we though the dome was moving doesn't count (the earthquake was actually in Argentina and we didn't even know something strange had happened until the image came out scrambled).

It was a pretty weak earthquake and it lasted less than a minute, but it was

Yay, Earthquakes! Aren't they so much fun? Like a roller coaster =). Hmm... I wonder if people in Florida enjoy running from alligators as much as I like earthquakes =P.

I wish I'd known about that gator tactic yesterday. Oh well, I've always wanted a wooden leg. ;)

Glad to hear you survived your first big shaker in tact!

Just think of how much more fun talk like a pirate day will be!

In elementarty school we had earthquake lunches where at the beginning of the year they had us bring in a bag of non-perishable food (goldfish and granola bars!) so we wouldnt starve if there was an earthquake and we were trapped at school. Then on the last day of class we usually had a party and ate them. We also had earthquake drills, where you had to get under a table and roll into a ball and cover your head with your hands and take off your glasses.

That sounds fun! We never had hurricane or alligator drills... but we did get several beautiful days off because some hurricane might hit us (but didn't).
