After the earthquake yesterday, Brian went from room to room looking for what had caused all the crashing that he had heard. No damage on main floor, no damage in the Clark Family apartment. Didn't even think about the top floor.
remember I said it felt like the top floor was going a different direction from the floor that we were on.
Today, Alicia and I went upstairs to scrap book and WHAT A MESS ! ! ! Every room on the top floor has stuff everywhere. We were in the middle of rearranging the use of the rooms (turning the sewing room into the guest room and turning her old bedroom into our sewing room). some stuff was lying more than 5 feet from where it was on Friday. Drawers shaken open, books and trinkets shaken off of the book cases and off of the desks. WOW - there is just a mess in the whole upstairs. the bathtub has all kinds of products in it that used to be on the edge of the tub.
We've never had an earthquake that actually shook stuff off the shelves before. I'm curious about the store and restaurant in town. Although, they are single story buildings so probably didn't get the shaking that our third floor did. there aren't too many 3 story buildings in Anchor point.
Fox News said it was a 6.1, but the earthquake site said it was 5.7 or something like that.

Justin and I were talking about the sound that woke us, the sound the earth actually made. We heard it seconds before the actual shaking, I couldn't describe it to you, but it was loud enough to wake us both up. Then we sat up in bed, looked at each other, and WHAMMO! earthquake. It was so deep, that it really had a lot of force. Too bad you couldn't hear the earth like we did being down so low to the ground. Pretty cool.
Yeah, I often hear the earthquake just before I feel it too.It's amazing. And there isn't really any way to describe it. Susan's job, the Seismological Society of America, actually has some recordings of earthquake sounds, I think.
Rock and roll, Sandra
Whoa, that sounds sooo cool. Too bad about the mess though. What sort of affect do earthquakes have on the foundation of a home?
