Earthquake

It is official! We have now survived our first California earthquake. The shaking started at 11:42 a.m. and only lasted for 10-15 seconds. David was home and he grabbed Joel while I practiced my duck and cover technique. I never used it for a toronado in my 26 years as a Texan but have already put it to use in my 2 years as a Californian. Not a single thing fell off shelves or the walls. We did have a few dvd cases fall over on a bookshelf but no big deal. The quake originated near Chino Hills, which is east of us and had a magnitude of 5.4. We are ok and trying to resume normal life again. Our cell phones were out for a little while but the phone and internet never had any interruption. It definitely makes me thankful that it wasn't worse and is a good reminder to make sure we always have an emergency kit ready to go.
