EARTHQUAKE!!!! Just before noon today we had a 5.6 quake in the city of Angels...not that I would know. I missed it! I had been doing some housework and decided to take out our recycling and the trash. I loaded Seth in the stroller and put the trash in the basket and balanced recycling on top (quite the process, I know). The dumpster is located below ground in our parking garage. I was on the phone with Brittany when I entered the garage. She said "my picture just fell off the wall. I think we are having an earthquake!" I couldn't feel a thing below ground. I quickly threw my trash away and wheeled Seth out. People were starting to exit the complex and stand on the sidewalk and talk about what they had just felt. I don't know if I would know what was going on if it hadn't been for Britt being on the phone at the time. CRAZY timing!! Brandon, on the other hand, works on 31st floor and really felt a pop and swayed back and forth. I know that our house isn't completely earthquake proof, but I am happy to say that Brandon bolted our bookcases to the wall a while ago, making me feel a LITTLE safer.
