That was an experience I don't want to re-live again in a hurry. I'd just settled down for my afternoon nap after a surprise lunchtime visit from my human when the house started shaking. Just a gentle shake to start with then it grew and grew until the whole building was shaking and and everything was rattling. I remembered what my human had told me after the last quake and went to my safe place under the table until the shaking stopped. OK so it's unlikely we'll get a 'big one' but you never know what can fall on your head. No signs of damage at our new house, or our old one for that matter, although there are many reports on the news of widespread minor damage. Communications were down for a short while as millions of people tweeted or posted on Facebook - it's a strange world we live in. You might laugh at me for hiding but I know being the softy I am I did the right thing. It amazes me how many people said they ran out into the street... errr isn't that where all the bricks are falling.
Anyway, I survived yet another earthquake and now I'm starting to prepare for hurricane Irene which might get to us by weekend. What do I need for that.... dried food, canned food, water, batteries, torch. Loo roll! I must remind my human she needs to stock up if this thing does come our way she's going to need it.
I really miss England!
