Oh - My House Shaked Last Night!

Hi everyone! Last night I was all snug and cozy in my bed, when all of sudden I woke up because our house was shaking! My duck toy fell off my shelf, and I got kinda scared. Mommy came upstairs and told me I could bring my pillow down and lay on the couch with her and Sutter and go to sleep there with them. She seemed a little rattled too - she told me that the house shakes when we have something called an earthquake. She said it’s ok to be startled, but that it was over now and it was safe. Daddy was in Palo Alto for a meeting that night, so I don’t know if he felt the house shake or not. But it sure got my attention! Mommy called Cappy, and he said they felt it at their house too. Then on the tv, it said the earthquake happened pretty much right by our house - that’s why my duck fell off the shelf! When Daddy came home, he carried me upstairs to bed and I went right to sleep. We didn’t feel any more shakes that night, and I’m glad! (I think Mommy is too).

    Incidentally, it was a magnitude 4.2 centered only about 6 miles from our house.
