I Feel the Earth, Move, Under my Feet!

Yeah, we just had an earthquake. It's an odd feeling for those who don't grow up with it. Pat and I were sitting on the couch drinking our coffee when the house began to sway a little. It felt like someone was pushing the couch back and forth, on wheels. It was a relatively gentle sway! We looked at each other and Pat spoke the thought between us, "earthquake!" We looked up out our big windows and saw the trees swaying as well! It lasted about 10 seconds. It takes a few minutes to register on the websites, but we sent the USGS our responses. Come to find out, it was a 6.1 magnitude quake that was in the Cook Inlet, between Mt. Augustine and the Peninsula. Mom, you remember that? We saw it when it was spewing from Homer. Anyway, it was about 100 miles away and about 58 miles deep! Crazy Saturday morning! After that excitement, we are off to feed the puppies and watch KU play!
