The Earthquake

Recently Amy and I were disussing how living in Va is nice because you don't really have to worry about bad weather and natural disasters. I may have jinxed us. Within one week we had an earthquake and a hurricane.
I rarely get to take naps with Nate anymore, but on the day of the earthquake we happen to be asleep. I woke up and thought he was awake and jumping on the bed. Till I realized that my whole room was shaking. He woke up and looked at me and said, "mommy why is the house jumping". Luckily we were spared any damage, but it was a scary 30 seconds especially because we woke up to it. Nate calls it the big "earth shake". I'm pretty sure he got that term from Land Before Time.
I do think the news over did it. I understand broadcasting immediately following to clarify for people that it was not a terrorist attack and to report that there wasn't any major damage. However, I don't think they needed to be on air for hours reporting the same thing over and over.
Irene will have her own post!
