It was 5:30am when I found myself waking from a very deep sleep and sitting straight up in bed. It took me a second to realize that my bed... my whole house was shaking! I was totally disoriented so I looked out the window wondering if it was really windy or if we were experiencing more tornadoes but it was calm outside. The shaking stopped and I waited for my house to quit squeaking and everything to stop swaying back and forth and then decided to go back to sleep (well, first I just laid in bed and thought about all of the things I'm missing in my food storage, moments like these are good motivators). I found out this morning we had experienced a 5.2 magnitude earthquake! Crazy! We had tornadoes in February and now an earthquake- where the heck do we live?
P.S. Trevor called after the earthquake to make sure the flat screen was okay.
"Yes dear, the TV is fine ... and so am I and your 3 children."

ha ha, I can see Matt calling about the same thing! That was too funny.
Well of course we were glad to hear that you were all okay. I guess it didn't wake any of the kids? They probably thought they were being rocked back to sleep.
Love Dad
How scary! I have always been so scared of being in an earthquake!
I'm so glad that someone else thought it may have been a tornado at first too. I mean, I've never experienced an earthquake and was a little disoriented at five in the morning. I was waiting to hear sirens or something. It wasn't until I woke up later that I realized it may have been an earthquake. Trevor's comment made us laugh hard! Paul thinks they should have done an elder's quorum calling tree to check on all the flat panel televisions. ha,ha
