Earthquake

Hey Jonathan -
So do you remember all those earthquake drills they had us doing back in elementary school? I don't remember what year it was exactly. I think I was 5th or 6th grade. We had to bring bottles of water and snacks into school just in case. And we practiced getting under our desks. I distinctly remember drills at both McLeod and APAC. Apparently there was supposed to be some huge earthquake with an epicenter in Memphis or maybe it wasn't Memphis. Does anyone remember?

Anyway - I experienced my first earthquake today. It was around 12:30pm. I had gone to the store this morning. And then I was back at home sitting on my bed working on a paper. All of a sudden the wall and the bed and everything started shaking. At first I thought Irene, my roommate, had just banged the wall. But then it kept shaking. Whoa! It was crazy!!!

I read online that it was a 5.3 on the earthquake scale with the epicenter in Tyre, Lebanon. Apparently it was the strongest quake in Israel in the last ten years. Next time I will be ready to dive under my bed... Of course I have to clean it out first!! :)

Love you!
