Our First Big Earthquake

I'm always saying that I never feel the little earthquakes we've had since we've moved here, but I felt this one today!  It was a 6.9 magnitude (upgraded to a 7.2) one down in Baja Mexico.  Mike and I were sitting at our computers when the building started shaking.  We were doing the laundry and I thought our dryer was spinning out of control.  We just kept looking at each other and things started rattling on the walls.  We both got up and ran under a doorway while we waited for the shaking to stop.  It kept going, so we ran outside and that's when it stopped.  This all happened in about 20-30 seconds, but it felt like at least 5 minutes.  My heart is still racing as I'm writing this blog.  The cats are still a little spooked as well.

Mike had just secured our bookshelves to the wall last weekend.

I thought I'd let everyone know all is well, just a little worked up, since it's hitting the news and another 4.1 one shook outside of Sacramento shortly after we felt this one.

There are actually a lot of little aftershocks going off as I write this that we are feeling:  http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/latest.htm
