On my tablet at 12:34 when my bed started moving. I ran down stairs and stood in the hallway with my siblings... Windows were shaking and some things fell. Not to bad... More fun to me.

But then they said tsunami warning... Okay, we waited until 1:03 when dad said we need to get to higher ground... By now all my siblings but (3) were crying and having a panic attack.

I grabbed both dogs... Molly and Boaz were totally scared by the siren noise, but I managed to get them in the car. Then dang it the cat... Run back inside and find cousin on the floor with a blanket over his head okay take a deep breath and calm down. I was starting to get worked up at this point.

Finally were all in the van and just went up to the fire station a mile away.

By now 7 of my siblings are crying saying we're all going to die, oh well, nice way to die, lol... Me worried about our neighbors/friends... They showed up just a couple minutes later. They live right on the bay.

Wait a while listen to the radio till 3:39 when they finally give the all clear to go home.

There didn't end up being a tsunami but the earthquake was a bit of a shaker.

Now I'm just worried what are we going to do when we have a bunch of animals?

I'm working on some things to keep on hand at all times for emergencies like these.

Most likely in most cases we will never be hit but ya never no, and better safe than sorry.

But now I've been listening to each of my siblings story of what it was like.

Nosh, has the best yet... He saw a 14foot wave coming for him but we got out in time for it to not hit him.

Livvy, I can now tell all my friend how we nearly died.

But I think for now most are... Asleep.
And I'm glad.

LOL.

Wow I was wondering if there actually was a tsunami or not.

most animals know to head to higher ground so long as they're able to. If I were in an area where it was a possibility and I had too many animals to quickly/realistically transport in the event of a tsunami I would likely open their pens so that they could at least try to get to safety on their own. (That's just me though I'm sure lots of people would have problems with me doing that.)

Yeah, we will have that option but I'm thinking more like having a trailer and just being able to load them. And have everything ready to.

Wow! Glad you’re ok. We’ve been having some bad weather over here to, it’s been pouring rain all day and it only just stopped but the girls, being true New Englandas, stayed out in the rain only going in to lay but that left all of them looking like drowned rats, lol:

Oh my Shey! So thankful you and your family were safe! What was the magnitude of the earthquake?

I've seen worse!
That reminds me of a Polish hen at a state fair where all the feathers on one side had been picked out, so the other half flopped to the side like some hairstyle where a woman shaves all the hair on one side of her head. One bit of advice for those bringing chickens to a show. They can be hatchery quality, but don't bring birds that are sick or injured or missing feathers. As a judge I would definitely give the first to the pristine hatchery quality bird than the beat up looking possible champion!

Oh. And I'm not a judge, but if I was one that is what would go through my head.
