She's only moving to Ridgecrest! I would be moving away as in out of state. She's sure brave. Has a cute little guy too.
We had one when I was about 12. I think it was like a 5.0?
My Mom, on the toilet.
My Dad, asleep in bed.
Me, having breakfast.
My little brother?
I don't know where he was, so he's not relevant to the story.
Earthquake happens and I thought something crashed into the house. Now, a vehicle on the road crashing into our house that hard would be a REAL challenge. We have pastures on either side with fences, huge trees, a ditch out front and at the time no road across the street. They would have to make a 90 degree turn and aim for us.
So I LOGICALLY thought a plane had hit the house. They fly over and cut their engines while training new pilots! So I went running outside to check.
Meanwhile, my Dad is still asleep.
My Mom is screaming at him from the toilet.
Dad can't hear Mom over his own snoring.
Where was my brother, seriously? No clue. Well he survived wherever he was.
Somehow I ended up being the one who hasn't lived this down, because I thought a plane hit the house! I wasn't the one who slept through it or rode it out on the porcelain throne!
