A Whole Lotta Shaking Going On

If you have a tv and live in Southern California, then you heard and maybe felt the earthquake yesterday. It was fairly big, but not damaging. Books and dvds fell off a shelf and Erik lost a shotglass. The news people kept showing the same 3 places that had any damage over and over. Domino's was even on channel 4, not because of damage, but because of the security camera footage showing swaying lamps. The kids here freaked out for a second, all drills for earthquake went right out the window. Payton was more shaken than the kids. Erik went over and got Jamie's dog, Rook, and brought him over here so that the 2 of them could go nuts together. About a half hour after, the news helicopters were all over the sky. One of them was directly over the house and Garin was out break dancing trying to get on tv, didn't work. We of course watched the news all day and I got calls from a lot of people. It is nice to know that so many people were concerned. My cell phone worked, but whoever had Verizon didn't have any service for a while. Our house phone worked after about a half hour, so we were doing good. I bet today the stores are full of people getting things like water, batteries, etc. It is good that Chino Hills is on the map for something else besides the Ryan family that got murdered by Kevin Cooper.
