…under my feet. Literally.<\/p>\n
Yes, we definitely felt the “earthshake” (as Emma calls it) today. We are all fine, in fact I don’t think there have been any injuries anywhere reported yet. But let me tell you, it is one of the “trippy-est” (Is that really a word?) things I have ever felt.<\/p>\n
They are speculating that the epicenter was in Chino, which is actually about 30 miles east of where we live, and where the girls and I were when it happened. But J. said they felt it and evacuated their building and he is another 25-30 miles further away than we are. They said the earthquake was felt as far away as San Diego and Las Vegas. Trippy, I tell you!<\/p>\n
The girls and I were actually in the pool at swim lessons. I didn’t really realize what was going on until I looked up at my friend who was out of the pool and she looked like she was kind of shaking and I saw the fence behind her rattling. And then there was a really loud “BOOM” and I turned to look at the parking lot to see if anything was happening to the cars, I truthfully, thought it was a bomb or some sort of explosion. And as I was turning back towards the steps the bottom of the pool seemed to tilt. I was holding Addie and could feel that more of her body was underwater, and the pool sort of “sloshed” around a little bit.<\/p>\n
I hopped out of the pool with Addie and made a beeline over to the other edge to get Emma where they were evacuating all of the kids and Emma was just so mad!<\/p>\n
E:<\/strong> “But why do we have to get out of the pool, Mama? Our swim class isn’t over? We didn’t get to do our jumps from the side of the pool!” The girl has a one track mind!<\/p>\n Anyhow, besides a few end tables moved around and some pictures toppled over – nothing was broken and we are all just fine. I am heading to Target and getting the rest of the things on my Emergency Kit list that I’ve been putting off, though. Right. Now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" …under my feet.
