My First Earthquake

One of the things that scared me the most about moving to California were the earthquakes. I've grown up with hurricanes my whole life which may seem scary to most people but as for me, earthquakes seem worse. Supposedly there have been several earthquakes lately but they have happened at night while I was sleeping or they happened too far away for me to feel. I've been waiting to feel one and I did for the first time today! I was sitting on the couch reading Harry Potter while Marisa was taking a nap. I felt a rumble but I didn't think anything of it because I've felt that in Georgia before a lot. But then in a split second I was like, wait, I'm in California! Right after I thought that I quickly put my book down, perked up on the couch, and then I felt a shifting. The ground was going back and forth. I look down and I was like HOLY COW! It happened very quickly, like a second or two, but I sat there waiting for more. My next reaction was...Marisa! So I walked to her room to see if she was still sleeping and I just stood there by her crib for a little bit in case more earth shaking movements were going to happen again. haha. Well, obviously nothing more happened. I sat back down on the couch and just smiled...haha. Awkward reaction I know but I thought to myself, "I just felt my first earthquake! Cool!" I double checked on the news to make sure I wasn't going crazy or anything and sure enough it was. 3.9! Ahh! Scary! haha
