Yes, that is the latest report from the Brown household...we experienced a 5.9 magnitude EARTHQUAKE today!!! For this southern girl..that was a traumatic experience..something I'll NEVER forget!!! Around 1:50pm the house began to shake and the sound that came with it seems impossible to describe... I honestly thought a train was coming through our house. While it may have lasted several seconds it felt like MINUTES... I ran to Hudson's room got him out of his crib and we stood in the doorway of his bedroom until it stopped. We were both a little shaken up {to say the least} for several minutes after it had stopped... Hudson kept saying "Mommy, my house shake, it scare me!" No real damage was done and it honestly feels like a weird/crazy dream now. Some picture frames had fallen on the floor and onto tables they were sitting on...but no damage in my kitchen, not even my hutch! ;) Brad was enjoying our story-telling at dinner tonight.. Hudson kept shaking his little body to show daddy what the earthquake felt like..it was hilarious! ;) Brad asked Hudson, "who was with you during the earthquake".. Hudson didn't even hesitate and responded.. "GOD" ;) {Proud momma and daddy moment}
Now we'll be awaiting this beauty...after it visits my Carolina friends, first!? :( Hurricane Irene is expected {predicted} to hit Charleston and Myrtle Beach at the end of the week and by the weekend we're predicted to have Tropical Storm winds and rain... it's also predicted to be a Category 4 hurricane... YUCK! Stay safe!!!
Oh my goodness, Anna! I cannot even imagine what that felt like! SO THANKFUL that ya'll are okay!!!
ReplyDeleteSo crazy! Tom felt it in Pittsburgh because he sits so high up in his building, but I didn't notice it on the ground here. Glad it caused only minor problems and you all are okay.
