The Morning After, or, Rock and Roll Hangover
Saturday morning, and I did not sleep much at all. At 5:30, I decided that since it was cat-feeding time anyway, and I was wide awake, I might as well get up. The cats are alternating between eating and begging for OUT. Since it's dark outside, OUT is definitely Not On.
I am trying to decide what to sort first - the jewelry boxes that walked off the shelf in the bedroom, or the studio. The jewelry boxes, which are of the tall with a rotating earring carousel sort, were upside down in a basket of mending. So no broken glass, but lots of earrings mixed in with the mending. That's probably more of a pottering with Car Talk project. The stuff in the studio, well, I guess I'll start by picking things up off the floor, then see what broke on the shelves, then decide what gets put back up and what doesn't. Too much, I think I'll start by making lists.
I had the local Eyewitless News on for a bit. Looks like there's some serious damage in Fullerton, apartments red-tagged and water mains broken, and of course lots of shots through glass doors of stores with exploded shelves in La Habra. I wonder if the paper is here yet? It's late, which is not surprising, as I think our delivery people live in La Habra. I do hope they're okay.
It's going to be a long day, but at least we aren't hurt, and there doesn't seem to be any damage to the house, although we'll know more when it's light.
By the way, Earthquake Weather? No such thing. Earthquake Weather My Arse.

There is no scientific evidence whatsoever for particular weather causing earthquakes. None. Zero. Nada. It's a superstition.
Animals as an early warning system, yes, there is some truth to that. I've had ample evidence of late that cats can feel smaller temblors than I can. In fact, they are both Very Concerned again this morning, and when I looked at the USGS map, there had been another 2.1 just about when our alarm went off. For whatever that's worth.
Also too, they had their heads up and tails down on high alert before we felt the first shake of the larger quakes. If only they could tell me about it...
