August 23rd, 1:51 Earthquake VA

Yea so today i was sitting in my room, chatting, posting on Tumblr when my room started shaking. It came out of nowhere...my days this past week have been routine. and normal. nothing off about this. so when i say this shocked me you can take the irony =]

I sat up and tried to keep balance as my world rocked. I flashed back in a milla second and knew exactly what was happening. The idea that it was a nuclear attack hit several people (just shows how often stuff like this happens...)I stood in my room. knowing there was nothing i needed to take. but not wanting to leave. i heard the sound of my mothers door open and i ran to mine, catching the door frame for balance. she said "Everyone outside!" we ran down stairs. it was then that i relized i had my laptop. i saw my sister and dog sitting outside already but had the panicked attack that star migh still be inside. i was ready to run back in when my mom grabbed my arm and said "Stars out here." We all walked outside, clueless as to what to do next. i saw our neighbors "Are you alright?"
they nodded. My mom had instructed we go check on a neighbor across the street when she came running outside. another neighbor outside of our circle came out "Was that a earthquake?!" he said excited fallowed by a "WOOOO!!!" i sat down in the grass, as exciting as the events were i wasnt really sure were to go from here. would their be more? i new one thing. i had to get ahold of superman. i ran back into my room which seemed uninviting and grabbed my phone. but the cell phones weren't working. i opened the laptop i had and called him through Gmail. explaining the current events. he hadn't felt a thing. most likely he was flying to high to notice anything off =]
he found it all amusing. I'm scared that it will happen again. i'd feel alot better if superman were here.

I know todays small tremor wasnt anything very big other then making new records.
Im still shaken up by the change that it puts in the air. the uneasy feeling that any second it could hit and this time be damaging.

"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you." - Isaiah 54:10 <3

  1. That verse is comforting for many situations. I'm glad you had it when you needed it and I hope that the uneasy feeling settles. <3
