Good to hear that everyone's okay in LA!!
I get a bit worried if there's a tornado warning in my area (one has been sighted nearby--go to cover immediately!), especially now that I live on the top floor of an apartment building with no basement, so I have no idea where I'm supposed to go to if one does get close.
When I was in first grade, my parents were out at the movies and a cousin was babysitting us when the town alarms went off about the same time the power went. We headed into the basement with our flashlights and were all a bit scared. Turns out, a tornado hit my just-built-that-summer school a mile away and peeled off the roof.
Between that and the Plainfield tornado of 1990 in which a few acquaintances of ours barely escaped with their lives (one friend's mom was working at the high school that was leveled--she dove into the only hallway to remain intact just as the tornado hit the building and ended up with just some scraps on her back), tornadoes definitely do scare me if they get close enough.
Okay, so cube-neighbour is back and I swear she's talking more about not having felt the quake than anyone had talked about having felt it.
Certainly more noisily.
We have seasons, there's fire season, and earthquake season, and then mudslide season.
Ick. Smoked, shaken and grimy. Sounds like too many of my Saturday nights.
Whereabouts in Kansas?
Wichita
I'll take earthquakes, thanks.
Really? You guys describing them sounds pretty scary.

My uncle lives around the Santa Barbara area and had to call my grandma with updates through those seasons. He keeps saying he's no where near anything that could be dangerous.
middle of the rainy season.
Yeah, that's usually a Thursday afternoon in February.
It was downgraded to 5.4.
Noah and I were at the park on a playgroup thing. Safest place to be. A mom freaked for a few a seconds and then got over it. Haven't felt any aftershocks.
It was downgraded to 5.4.
We'll have to wait for the system to update before we get the 5.8
Wichita
I grew up in Topeka and my parents still live there. I haven't been to Wichita much however. The last time I spent any time there was when I was on the turnpike painting crew for a summer.
