Then we got home. We were making food. Jo was in the shower and we had a super fun 5.1 which was still epicentered only a couple miles away and was magnified in funness by the fact that we are on the 3rd floor. All the cabinets opened and stuff was flying out in the kitchen.
Thankfully only a couple things broke. We ran out of the kitchen to the bathroom doorway (ky and sy clinging to me- or me to them) hollered to Jo that all was okay it was "just an earthquake" (it was still going!) We watched stuff flying off the bookshelf.
And after it was over, this was Kik & Sy's room with the tipped bookshelf and stuff cleared off the top.
Here is my closet! Don't know how that happened.
The bathroom cabinets were dumped onto the counters
And all the drawers in our house were opened.
Computer monitors fell but Scott grabbed the TV before it went down.
Our house smells like curry because that's the one spice jar that broke open. (:
Everyone came out of their houses and was hanging out in the street for a good hour. Friends of people in la habra (the epicenter a couple miles away) report water spraying out of the ground everywhere, firemen and other emergency response people everywhere, and the water coming out if their taps is dirty! Craziness!
Thankfully for us, there was just a little cleanup required. In the garage only one box fell on the car and dumped out, but it could have been far worse. I wonder what's going on a few miles west of here.
