Woke up Sunday morning to a shaking bed. I thought Kenny was trying to wake me up or something. Around 7am we had an earthquake. What a way to wake up! They say it was a 6.7 quake. About 10 minutes after that we had another one. Things were shaking and making a lot of noise. They said we had over 20 aftershocks. Then around 10am we had another quake that they say was a 5. something. Don't remember. We had no power all day. It did finally come back on in time to go to bed for the night. The phone service was not working so it was not possible to call the few people back who did call me to see if we were all ok. They had issued a tsunami warning and then later said that there was no threat of a tsunami...just unusuall waves and surf. We made the best of things with having no power. We just fired up the barbecue. Made some steaks with the lobster we had caught and some baked potatoes. Ate with the light from a lantern. It was kinda cool. Now we just have more rain. My backyard is becoming a swamp. Hopefully it will quit raining soon. Love the rain but we have had enough for now.
