Earthquake!

Here is a video I made just after the 5.8 Chino Hills Earthquake that occurred in the Greater Los Angeles Area on June 29, 2008. I was in a meeting (yes, one of those food meetings) and the earthquake happened. I thought a truck hit the building. Someone yelled earthquake and we all bolted out to the parking lot. A few minutes later we were back inside reconvening and I made this tape. I look horrible. I was really dehydrated, couldn't sleep the night before and had just come back from my surgeons office to this drama. Very exciting! No damage - just spilled drinks and empty shelves. The earthquake itself gave me a feeling on nausea in my little pouch and after eating some tuna salad I barfed (again). OH, in the video I say I am in Orange but I am really in Santa Ana :) I was all kinds of discombobulated yesterday!

I keep telling myself I'm going to make an earthquake kit, but I haven't done it yet. My first earthquake was at the ballet and I thought ,"wow, for such an old theater, they have some really high tech seats that vibrate." I'm an east coast girl, what did I know. Glad you're safe. Do you have an earthquake kit?

I have several gallons of bottled water, candles and a bunch of canned food (with an electric can opener). I need do some more work in that area :)

When I was watching Home Alone 2 in Maria's room, the room all of a sudden moved a bit. It lasted for only 5 seconds. Laughing My Freaking Butt Off!

I live in simi valley about 20-30 miles from the epicenter. So it wasnt that bad but after not having an earthquake for a long time, it just gets your nerves rattling and your adrenaline pumping. We really have to prepare for the big one before its too late!!
