Earthquake

 

So can you believe I actually bothered to post just a few days ago (or was it yesterday …?) and now I actually have an update?! Jeez, I totally shouldn’t have bothered!

Anyway, so we had another earthquake here in So Cal today. Apparently 5.4, based in Chino Hills. I was at home, and the building shook for a while (enough time for me to realise what it was, get up, head for the front door and stand in the doorway, and wait it out.) Then a little mini one afterwards. Kind of weird seeing the garage roof continuing to sway down there even after it stopped! Matthew was at work and on the phone with me practically as it started, cos as we know, Aussies are wimps when it comes to earthquakes. Natty was out basically by the epicenter, in a therapy gym where the roof came down, equipment fell all over the place, and they got massively evacuated! (She’s not sure whether she’ll even be going in to work tomorrow!) And Bella was hiding under the bed. She couldn’t even be coaxed out for quite a while with treats … !

Anyway obviously we’re all fine. They say the damage isn’t too bad, it was a fairly small one. What is weird is how widely it was felt and how long it went on, given it was lower on the scale than some others.

In other news (because I don’t believe this victory should be neglected just by the ground burping!) I filmed what I believe to be my final RPM assessment video today - YAY!

    I’m no expert but it appears to be a steak/bbq restaurant. Both Matthew and Michael like bbq food….

    Just a stab in the dark.
