We’re Fine

There was just a 5.4 earthquake centered 3 miles from Chino Hills, 4 miles from Diamond Bar California. I was getting out things for lunch when we felt the house shake up and down for several seconds and then sway side to side for what seemed like another minute. The kids and I stood in the doorway and watched the light swing in the dining room. Since Rob was on the 17th floor of his building, he decided to come home until things are checked out.  The elevators were not working so he walked down the 17 floors.  The kids have gathered our 72 hour kits and added the necessary toys in case we need them again.  Hopefully this was it and there won’t be any other big ones following.

    Pretty crazy. I’m glad your all okay. I’ve never been in an earthquake before, I don’t think I would do so well.

    I haven’t seen the news yet today so this is the first I have heard about this. Thank you for letting us know you are all right.
    This reminds me that I need to get our 72 hour kits finished. I have the bags, now I just need to fill them. So I guess what I should be saying is that I need to get them started instead of finished.

    Goodness, Amy. Scary. Everytime I see posts like this and the one above, I am reminded that I don’t have a 72 hour kit, and that I had BETTER get on that. 🙂
