Okay......so at 3:35 this morning.....I woke up to our bed rocking back and forth....sideways......Well you know what was going through my head......(isn't it a little early?)....but I looked over and Bob woke up at the same time.....our bed was seriously rocking back and forth....SIDEWAYS.....pitch black...we couldn't figure out what was going on...being dead asleep............it went on for about 30 seconds or so.......long enough for us to freak out....but not too long obviously for us to get our asses out of bed and out of this completely cement and rock house......
We concurred....that we had just been through our first earthquake....well at the time we thought just tremors really........I asked Bob what time it was.....3:35a.m.........I wanted to record it......
Well, we just got online this morning to check our email and such....and check out the link we found on Yahoo's homepage below.....this is what really happened.....

We were so lucky....I think next time we might high tail it out of the house......(ya think?)
The earthquake hit about 30 miles or so from us......we'll be ready and waiting for the aftershocks! And will actually know what it is.... :)
Okay...we may not be in danger of tornadoes this Spring....but there's always something isn't there? Back in the 90's a pretty big earthquake destroyed several buildings in Perugia...which is just 23 miles from us.....where we do all of our shopping......didn't know we were moving to 'California'.....maybe should have checked those statistics before we left the States huh?
Ciao!

It's all over the new here in the states! I have been trying to gain info about the distance from you guys.
Was worried about you guys......glad to hear you're okay!
You guys were the first thing I thought of when I heard the news and I thought thearea on the map looked like it was close to you. Stay safe. Amazing stories...amazing memories.
