A 5.9 magnitude earthquake hit in central Virginia at 1:51 this afternoon. I definitely felt it at my house and I know people from many other states did also. I know that Josh, my mom, and my sister Autumn did not feel it, but my younger sister Katie did. It was absolutely the weirdest and scariest thing I have ever felt. Emma was asleep and Ryleigh had just woken up a minute or two before it happened and was standing up in her crib. I was sitting on our bed working on some things for Emma's party. The whole house just started shaking. Our t.v. started shaking really bad so I went to try and support it so it didn't fall, and there were a few things on our bathroom counter that fell off. I was watching the girls in the monitor and Ryleigh fell over in her bed and it woke Emma up but they were fine. I was really confused at first when it started shaking. It didn't even cross my mind that it was an earthquake because this is not supposed to be happeneing in this part of the country. Really crazy......
I hope that everyone is safe.
On a different note, the coast is gearing up for Hurrican Irene that is supposed to hit this weekend. Please pray for their saftey and that it doesn't cause too much damage.
