Our First EARTHQUAKE!

Image from the earthquake website

On Thursday morning at 10:00am, I experienced my first earthquake. I was sitting on the couch watching TV and eating breakfast when all of a sudden I felt the house move. It felt like someone pushed the couch forward and then back again- like a jolt. Rita was in the front window sill looking outside when it happened. She immediately jumped from the window and ran to hide. She knew something was wrong. At first, I thought someone hit the side of our townhouse. I ran outside to see, but no one was there. Then, I called Eric to tell him about this experience. He was in the hospital didn't feel a thing. I "googled" California earthquakes and found that there was a 4.1 earthquake in Milpitas. Here is a link to the newspaper article I read about it. I still can't believe how crazy it was! I'm just glad that we are all safe and sound. Hopefully, there will not be many more.
