Ah yes, that earthquake...something I hope to never feel again...we lived almost on top of the epicenter of that earthquake, and honestly I never felt so like I was going to die...the whole house was rocking and rolling, my husband got thrown out of bed, the fridge and freezer doors blew open, and there was food all over the floor, and poor Dizzy was so scared...

Funny thing was, when the earthquake first started, I just thought it was the artillery live shelling that goes on all the time down at Ft. Lewis...its so loud and earth shattering, and it makes all the dogs bark, and our windows shake, and things move...so thats what I thought it was when that earthquake started...but when I could actually feel the waves in the floor, I finally realized it was an earthquake, and just ran and stood under the doorway, and waited to die...

The poor hubby, having literally been thrown out of bed, just remained on the floor during the whole thing...he said it was like riding waves in the ocean...

An all together unpleasant experience...

hi andysmom
you did excellent reporting job when it happened
we were on Lcom
the official reports coming in were so confusing
we had no picture of what was going on
your on the spot reports were remarkable
we shared the whole experience with you
it felt so intimate, that we could share this experience with our fellows in your neck of the woods
we lived it with you
whole site was happy when Dizzy finally showed up
safe ending to harrowing time
Love, Palo

I feel too dopey to swim
but he finished work in hot sun
so I'll look for my swimsuit
