Earthquake Tremors

Well, the news of the day yesterday was the 5.0 earthquake tremor felt in the Toronto area. L was home and felt the tremor for about 20 seconds. I was running errands and didn't feel it, but my nephew felt it while walking home. K was writing an exam and thought he might just be feeling dizzy from all the studying he's been doing, lol. This link has some quick tips on what to do in an earthquake.

My Mom and my Auntie were with my brother in Tokyo once when they experienced a tremor in a tall building. The next morning they squished themselves onto the train to follow my brother to work in another tall building.

Glad you are okay.

I heard about the earthquake on the radio! Living in Los Angeles I know that a 5.0 is BIG and scary. Glad everyone was okay.

That's cute about K--but seriously, these kids work so hard, I guess I wouldn't be surprised had it been true!
