All of a sudden, I started tripping/swaying/running to the left and FAR left like Daffy Duck or Wyle E. Coyote after they've been hit over the head with a frying pan. HOWEVER, according to the news there were no aftershocks at that particular time..hmmmmmmm. maybe I DID get hit over the head with a frying pan..who knows.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br /> Baby SisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-36627075520033523632011-08-24T15:22:57.689-04:002011-08-24T15:22:57.689-04:00I have an enclosed porch.

I haven't been in a Deltaville hurricane since Gloria back in the 80's. I did feel the Great EarthShake of 2011 but I initially thought it was gas. Seriously, our building not the most stable, I took off and ran out leaving my coworkers to sit in an impending pile of rubble. They were fine. But my ability to do work was shot for the rest of the day.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541283009059071005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-44563812201466534412011-08-24T02:23:52.290-04:002011-08-24T02:23:52.290-04:0020112011Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-22194238357092709872011-08-24T00:41:57.424-04:002011-08-24T00:41:57.424-04:00Yes, far too much excitement for me too...with my ...Yes, far too much excitement for me too...with my little family far away from me in NYC.
