Oh Kat, all fingers crossed. Very scary.
I loved the house I spent high school in, circa 1910. No fireplace (because I was told it showed you were wealthy enough not to need it for heat), but a butler's pantry off the kitchen, wide front porch that wrapped around one corner, cut-glass doorknobs, claw foot tub in the bathroom, and the two push-button light switches everywhere.
So much the house of my heart. I still miss it.
Uh, to be clear, the house was built circa 1910, I did not attend high school then. Need more caffeine now.
Oh, crap, Kat. Thinking good safe thoughts for your sister and nieces (and any other Buffista beloveds in HI).
I can't even imagine 8.8. CNN is saying it's approximately 1,000 times stronger than the Haiti quake. I just want to run around swaddling the entire human race in bubble wrap.
May your family be safe, Kat!
I just want to run around swaddling the entire human race in bubble wrap.
And buying an emergency kit and packing some clothes and water.
Plus with the 7.0 in Okinawa yesterday (and all of the 5.0+ aftershocks) it seems time to get stuff in order, like the San Andreas has been pretty quiet and maybe this is all activity indicative of more to come.
Much ~ma for your family Kat.
Safety-ma to your family, Kat.
Hey! My iPhone knows your name now.
Is it possible that they actually have different colds up here, vs. NYC? Because I have had a million little colds this winter, and it is not like me! I haven't been really sick, which is good, but I'm usually just healthy!
So, there was a big quake in Haiti, followed by tons of aftershocks, then a big quake in Okinawa and now a big quake in Chile? It seems creepy and movie like, but I'm wondering if it always seems like that and if quake clusters aren't all that unusual.
Kat, I hope your family stays safe. We have a bunch of friends stationed there but we aren't exactly close enough that I should call.
