At the time, I just thought it was a really big truck rolling past, but it was not! I do realize that a 2.0 isn't particularly rare, and my Californian readers are going to think I'm crazy for getting this excited, but that's okay. It's still going on my list of natural disasters I have survived.

I feel the earth move, under my feet
I love geology. It was always my favorite of my science classes. So, I was quite excited to learn that the random wave I felt under my feet yesterday was, in fact, an earthquake!

I heard about that! HA! I didn't even feel it. I have survived two earthquakes in CA though. One on picture day in third grade and one DURING school! All of those earthquake drills paid off. We did a very effective 'duck and cover' under our desks while our teacher remained standing in the front of the room. We had to spend the next two hours or so SITTING on the playground in the bright sun with our classes waiting for aftershocks. Not fun.
I'm hoping that the NOT-IF-BUT-WHEN threat in Utah doesn't greet me in my time of living here...
