I was just sitting down to write this post when I heard a rumble outside...not uncommon during a thunderstorm. But then I felt the rumble under my feet, I knew it was happening again...another earthquake. I've spent the majority of my life in Oklahoma City...which means I'm used to things like tornados, ice storms, and in recent years...blizzards. I never in a zillion years would think I'd need to worry about earthquakes!
But Friday night...I woke up to one. I thought it was Moussey scratching her neck while she lay in bed...but Moussey wasn't in bed. She was standing near my bed staring at me...if she could talk, I'm most positive that she'd be saying, "WTF?!" My vision was wobbly for a good two minutes...as my head wobbled...but, I was half asleep and told myself that I'd check on line in the morning to see if OKC had an earthquake. The next morning I checked facebook..and sure enough it was confirmed. 4.7
The next night...round two. This time, it was only 11 pm. People were awake...in fact they were running out of their apartments yelling. Me and Moussey stared at each other...and again...her face had it written all over it..."WTF?!" I gotta admit...that one really shoook me up...no pun intended. It scared the beejeeezus out of me. And the neighbors running around outside didn't calm my nerves a bit. This one was bigger...5.6.
So here we are...Monday night. I thought the earthquakes were now a thing of the past...on to the next set of worries...tornado warnings all over the state. I sat down to write about my earth quake experience...and whaddaya know!...round three. This time, I'm certain this building swayed.
I think I'm finished freaking out about this...I'm going to go to bed...but not before a prayer....
Now I lay me down to sleep...
I pray the Lord my soul to keep...
If I should die before I wake...
I pray the Lord my soul to take...
