California - Northern

[Happy Chooks]

We are in the mountains, an hour from the center. We felt it and heard the rumble.

Got home from a BLARG day at work.
Trudged out to feed the critters.
Checked my two broodies. Found a smashed eggshell under one, but no chick. Darn. Just the way my day's going.
Gathered eggs, & decided to check on the broodies again. Heard the faintest peep....
Hm. I picked up the broody that had the smashed shell. Nothing.
Then her wing peeped. Was so surprised I almost dropped broody, chick & all. She had tucked the chick tight under a wing.
She's got 4 more buckeye eggs under her, so I'm hoping for more by morning.

My day is much better now.

My mom was very close in Shingletown. She felt it fairly strongly but all is well there.

I totally just sat down to pee and it shook the whole toilet! lmbo! Next time I'll just hold it and see to the animals first. I have never ever ever in my life been on a toilet that moved. Like ever. That was the weirdest thing ever. 

That is so funny!! I'm glad your ok.

I am trying not to laugh because I know earthquakes can be terrifying, having experienced AND worked in 9-1-1 Centers during both the Loma Prieta and Northridge earthquakes..... But ... that's a rather vulnerable position and location in which to "ride out" an earthquake.

I bet that WAS a surprise! Too darn hilarious!!

No shaking over here - That's okay - you guys can keep it on YOUR side of the valley...

At first I thought my head was being funny. Then I realized the whole thing was moving. I startled a bit and looked behind to see if someone was shaking the toilet- now I know that sounds funny but frankly a moving toilet is not normal anyway so my brain was just not firing on all cylinders with the whole thing. Then I froze...do I get up...do I stay on...LOL My kids thought it was awesome. Made our recliners move, light cords sway- lol. Adventures!
