While on the deck, I noticed that everything was swaying. But there was no breeze. Then it hit me. I poked my head back in the house, "Guys! We're having an earthquake!" Everyone was immediately up on their feet, unsure of exactly how to react.
It was at about that time that the shaking got the strongest. The house creaked like on a windy day.
Then, just like that, it was over.
It also just so happens that today, Alex got a Facebook account.
We're pretty sure the two are unrelated.
