I finished the entry, then reviewed it after posting to find I hadn't said anything about the earthquake last night....
At 11:32p there was a rumble then a jolt. That was it. I have been watching the CNN and other newscasters/experts explain the different earthquakes and how they do damage, etc. But, of course, I can't remember the name of this type of earthquake.
However, it is one that can cause the land to go UP sometimes feet, or down, same thing. CNN guy was talking about how this kind of earthquake in California or Japan would destroy things because the earth just rises, usually, in one big jolt. Since most places build for the kind of earthquake that causes building to sway, buildings wouldn't survive the sudden elevation.
Anyway, so Now I kinda know the difference. Here in Our Town, we get a millisecond of rumbling sound and then a jolt. OR we get swaying with no noise from the earth.
I was so pumped with adrenalin, I was shaky for hours after and that certainly didn't help me to get to sleep at a reasonable time.
That's it, once again, Blessed Be!
