There I was, working on my computer shortly after returning from a trip to Seattle Washington. I was online doing some work, drinking some coffee, and watching some football. It was a boring, cold, and rainy Sunday in San Diego (grrrrr, and here I thought I’d escape it by leaving Seattle. Noooo it followed me!!!)
So where was I? Ah yes… I’m chillin out, etc etc etc. Drinking some coffee and the the house shook like a heard of elephants were coming up the steps. It was a really wierd feeling, the house shaking, the pictures on the wall rattling, and the smoother going ‘ummmm… wtf mate?’ It was pretty amazing to be a part of it since I’m from the tornado section of the country.
Oh but it’s not over! Last night I was hanging out with a friend of mine and BAM! It happened again! He goes “Did you feel that? Another earthquake Iowa boy!” and then we hopped online to see how big it was. It was a 4.something just like the first one and they both happened in the same spot, one on top of another. I never would have guessed it, but there are a ton of earthquakes every week in California! I would assume maybe just a few, but not 100+.

In the end I survived an earthquake that I actually felt, and it felt much safer than running to the basement during a tornado. I just hope California doesn’t fall into the ocean any time soon.
