Earthquake OT

Last night at 11.30 I was nearly jerked out of bed by an earthquake
measuring 5.9. Horrible. It caused 2000 claims to be lodged so far
and a lot of liquor stores and supermarkets had smashed bottles everywhere.
We get a lot of earthquakes in our area of Hawke's Bay in New Zealand as we
are on the fault line but this was our biggest in a while. There was a
small aftershock later in the night. In 1931 our area was destroyed by a
huge earthquake which caused many deaths so we are always nervous when one
strrikes these days.

5.9 is enough to jolt you out of bed! I'm glad you weren't hurt. Have you
done a head count of the furrbutts? I'm sure they're fine, physically,
but they might be a bit shaken up, so to speak.

I'd send purrs, but they might feel like an aftershock. :-/ How about
some head-rubs and nose-touches?

Thanks Joyce, the furbutts are OK, although they hate earthquakes. They
always know a few seconds ahead of a 'quake, they get wide-eyed and nervous.
One woman rang up the radio station I was listening to at the time and said
her cat belted out the cat door!!!
