Thanks for asking how I was again, really appreciate that! It was awkward feeling an earthquake because I haven't felt one for such a long time.
It's L.A. so I guess I wasn't too shocked about it since I've always been living here, lol.
Hi LadyBanana,
Fortunately California was prepared for it. They have strict building codes, so it caused minor damage.

Hi meleah rebeccah,
I heard about it on T.V., a news bulletin. They stressed that it wasn't that bad. Buildings were still standing, and no one was kill. So I knew people were probably just shook up.
Still I was worried about my cyber friends too. I got a scare when I realized that -a experienced the earthquake.
Fortunate that it was not a bigger one. Still scary.
Hi Deb,
Yes, I hope that people heed the warning and prepare for the big one.
