Right before heading to bed last night, the earth shook and the building rattled, and thus begins the recollections of my very first earthquake!! In the middle of our country, Tulsa Oklahoma, at 10.53p on November 5th, 2011. And immediately I recalled the poem (erm) Remember Remember the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I see no reason why the gunpowder treason,should ever be forgot.Have you ever been in an earthquake! What thoughts went through your mind in that moment? I headed for the doorway, worried about our daughter sound asleep, and wondered if it could get worse, and if we might have more aftershocks.
New Jersey was hit by that one 5.9, the one where the epicenter was in Washington D.C. Some people were shaken up, but I was driving at the time and didn't even feel it.
