Hey! I'm ok, but we didn't have power for a few hours, and then the internet connection here wasn't working.

This earthquake felt big to me, and I've been through lots of earthquakes. (being from California) To me it felt just as strong as the 89 earthquake in the SF bay area (which I was also in the middle of!)

It was pretty scary while it was rocking the hardest, you could literally see everything moving back and forth. I was still in bed, and then someone yelled 'evacuate the building!' and everyone went outside, many students still in their pajamas... one guy had just a sheet wrapped around him.

In our apartment, things fell off shelves (a couple framed pictures of mine fell to the tile floor and amazingly didn't break) and our bathtub was filled with shampoo bottles and stuff.

I heard that the ywam base up in Makapala (north of here) had an older building that collapsed, but I don't think anyone was in it. Here where I'm at i think everyone is ok, as far as I've heard.

Thanks for the prayers and thoughts, you all!

Anna: lol@ 'trouble magnet'... you're right, what's up with that?

Oh, I am so glad that all is fine with you, and those you know. Praise God. Fortunately nothing too severe appears to have occurred, which is why I don't call you a disaster-magnet. LOL.

Miss you! Stay safe! (Which may mean keeping away from yourself... KIDDING!)

xo!

The true definition of "a natural disaster" for a FReeper! ;-) But seriously, glad to hear that you and everyone are safe!
