Tornadoes and Earthquakes- Welcome to Kentucky!


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.
