Quakes and Shakes

As if blizzrds and extreme heat weren't enough for 2011, God decided to throw us some earthquakes. Friday night we had a 4.7 earthquake, which I slept right through. On Saturday we went to visit Tim's parents, which is just a few miles from the epicenter of the earthquakes. Tim went to the OSU game, but I decided to stay back and watch it with my father in law. Geez the game was too close for comfort. By the end of the game my adrenaline was rushing, but yay we won! We turned to the news and they were talking about the earthquake from early that morning. That is when one of the scariest moments of my life happened. There was a loud rumble and the house started shaking. Pictures were falling and all I could think about was Addy. I screamed out "my baby!". I looked at Randy terrified and ran to check on Addy (she just stirred a little and went back to sleep). I had no clue what I was supposed to do in an EARTHQUAKE! I mean that is not a safety routine you practice in Oklahoma. It lasted 10-20 seconds and then it was over. I was still shaking an on the verge of wanting to cry several minutes later. I made the comment to Randy I was never going to sleep because I was really awake now. Throughout the night there were probably 10 or more aftershocks rumbling the house which woke me and scared my every time. There were many, many prayers said that night. It was definitely something I can say I have experienced, but will be happy never to experience again!
