ROCKTOBER EARTHQUAKE!

So Rocktober really does rock: as in, the earth is rocking!  Ack!  We had an earthquake 'round 7pm.  Admittedly it was nothing compared to what happens elsewhere, but it was the strongest I've felt.  Lucy and I were reading a book with Lulu (the fish) in the dining room, when everything started to shake.  Scary!  It lasted long enough for me to wonder what was going on and begin to think "oh dear, what should we do now?"  Then it stopped.  Lucy asked "was that an earthquake?" and Jake said he thought it was the washing machine out of balance.  To his credit, the washing machine was in fact on, and does sometimes shake a lot.  But not that much.  I put her to bed before we found out that it actually was an earthquake.  She's going to be excited when we tell her tomorrow.
