Today our boys experienced their first Earthquake. It startled us all. Johnny was still sleeping , Kyle was playing on the computer and fortunately Luke was near us because he went in to freak out screaming mode. Jim and I both jumped. It was LOUD as if a building near us had exploded or something and our house shook pretty hard and then we had a bit of an aftershock. We yelled for the kids and just to be safe we curled up together under the table. Luke took a while to calm down and Johnny complained about it waking him up and Kyle told us he doesn't ever want to feel an earthquake again. Our response.... Welcome to California boys! :)
It is a good reminder to make sure we know what to do and have emergency kits ready. I also immediately thought that if Stephanie, Jude, and Lovenie had been home I wouldn't have known the words to explain to them what was happening so it probably would have been even more scary for them. So, something else to consider learning how to explain in Creole. We are all safe and fine and the earthquake happened pretty near our home (why it was so loud) but was just a 4.7 so it was big enough to get our attention but not big enough to do any harm.
