I had great plans to finish up some projects this morning. I may get to them, but first I must make sure everything is still OK with the house.
Early this morning, we experienced a jolt that woke us up. A
quick peak around to make sure nothing was really broken, no wires down, or
water gushing and back to sleep. You can go to the USGS website here to see the
data, but you may need to change the settings to give you earthquakes that
happened earlier than the default (1 day) or change the map to show more detail
(Zoom in to the San Francisco Bay area with about 100 miles radius showing).
We live in a historic home. It was built around 1910. We
live on granite and the house is sturdy. It’ll take The Big One to do
significant damage, but by then our whole town will be at the bottom of the MontereyCanyon in the Bay. We did have a brief shake, but no rolling or anything. The
house didn’t slip and no damage to the utilities. Later we’ll look around outside.
Make sure there’s no cracks or trees down etc.
Then I’ll get to the projects. Today also starts the Triuum.
As part of the music leadership, I’ll be busy the next 4 days. I’ll be prepared
with some easy tatting I can do in the down time between the activity. Maybe I’ll
finish a bootie.
Sounds scary, I hope there was no damage.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had no damage. I think living in an earthquake zone would terrify me.
ReplyDeleteWe live in an active seismic zone as well and a mere hour back there was a slight tremor. The epicenter was in Afghanistan, though. Earthquakes leave you feeling totally helpless - where do you run to or hide!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you go? Most of the time I don't even notice them. Anything under 4.0 feels like a large truck going by. I'm usually on the move or making enough noise I don't recognize them. So, I just go about my business and keep an eye out for damage.
ReplyDeleteThe question here is, " was it enough to stir your coffee?"
