The Aftermath......

Well there are books on the floor, pictures hanging crooked on the wall, toys strewn about, and laundry that fell on the floor....all results of the earthquake. Oh wait, the house looked like the yesterday too if I recall....but I fully intend to let the earthquake take credit for ALL of it! Even the dirty dishes!!!

Wow we are all over the news!! And you heard it here first!!! Straight from a real life 'survivor' of the biggest earthquake in Illinois history. That is if you were up at 4:45 a.m. reading my blog! LMAO!!

This will be the talk of the 'town' in these here parts for a good 6 months. All the old timers will have all sorts of old wives tales to apply...from the crop prediction to the animal population to the size of the racks on the fall Bucks that all the men will be chasing in October. It will all go back to this one single day and how it's effects have rippled through nature. We might just have to go up to the store and sit on the Liar's Bench and hear it all this morning! My kids would enjoy that! I am sure I would get an earful!

I just got up and haven't read or seen any news as of yet! I'm glad to hear you are all okay! I hope that there were no casualties?

Wow. You're not really in a quake hot spot, are you... How big was it? Glad all is OK.

It was 5.4 on the scale, we have had a 4.6 aftershock also this morning! This is definately big news around here...there has always been the threat of the "Big One" which this thankfully wasn't, but it seems like nobody ever really believes it's gonna happen...Until today that is!!!
