Earthquake

There was an earthquake in Virginia Tuesday and it shook even up here in Pennsylvania.  I have first-hand tornado experience from a lifetime in Oklahoma and have seen first-hand the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina.  We've now been to the flood museum in Johnstown and that was close enough to water for me.

It did give me the heebie jeebies in that when we drive to Ocean City across that Chesapeake Bay Bridge over all that water that all the car windows have to be down so if we slide off the bridge we can get out of the car and not be trapped inside like some movie.  I see that in movies all the time but I still can't believe you can't roll the window down after the car fills up and the pressure is equal.  I don't want to try it to disprove it, but I just don't believe it.  I also believe I could kick a window out in that dire of an ordeal.

I did not feel the quake at all.  I disbelieved that too but I was sitting under a hair dryer trying to ungreen my hair and very involved in reading Glamour Magazine.  I never allow myself to read entertainment magazines unless I am in a waiting room.  It was nice to be doing something just for fun, but when I read, I am totally engrossed.

The girls were home and Carly concisely summarized by saying she never wanted to do that again and would take 10 tornadoes to one earthquake.  Even our Chihuahua was a nervous wreck.  Kim said she was downstairs and it started with the baker's rack tinkling and then the dining room curtains waved and then the living room, and she could feel the tremor ripple through our house from one end to the other in the space of about six seconds.

I never in my life gave any thought to ever being exposed to an earthquake.  There was a very mild one in Oklahoma in 1999 and I did not feel that one either.  We are safe from nothing in this Satanic system, but we are safe from everything if we abide under Jehovah's wing.

That's the only best place for us little chicks.
