Wow!! Our first Earthquake...it was pretty amazing. Brad and I just could not believe what was happening. Brad described it as feeling like he was "riding a wave". We both wished is had lasted just a little bit longer so we could have really taken it all in. I am sure there will be a next time.
No damage, but a good reminder to make sure our 72 hour kits our stocked.

Liz, that is crazy!! I swear in the four years we lived in CA, we never felt one. I am pretty sure that I am just unable to feel earthquakes! See you SOON!
I am so glad you are alive-reason 5,234,191 to move to NY!
Time to stock up on the 72 hour kits...so scary!
I'm glad at least someone else enjoyed it! I always want them to last longer. They normally go by way too fast.
That is so scary! We're glad you guys are okay.
Brad and Liz, we are so glad that you guys are ok! We can't wait to see you at Christmas!!!! When are you guys coming to Utah?
