I don't need a title, I'm sure you all know what this is going to be about.

While typing this I'm listening to AC/DC- You Shook Me All Night Long. I thought it was some what fitting, especially this line:
 "'Cause The Walls Start Shaking
The Earth Was Quaking"

If you have internet or a T.V. I'm sure you've heard about the Earthquake in Virginia. Let me first start off by saying, I really really really dislike it when other people try to negate or lessen other peoples feeling's towards something. I don't care if you're joking, but just because something doesn't matter to you doesn't mean it doesn't matter to someone. Just because you're from California, or you didn't feel it doesn't mean thousands of other people are wimps. Shut your mouth.

Onward.

Being from Georgia, we don't have those really, we feel tremors and tiny Earthquakes if anything. Nothing bad, now if you say, "Hey there's a tornado coming," awesome, I'm set -still freaked out- but I'm used to it and can deal with it and most likely will be over it in twenty or thirty minutes. I've been through plenty of bad weather by myself, it's awful, but I've managed just fine.

When we PCS'd to VA Earthquakes didn't cross my mind, blizzards did, the Earth moving? Not so much. Apparently VA is pretty active for it's location. Surprise Surprise, they should put that on their website "Virginia is for Lovers andalsotheoccasionalEarthquake. Welcome to the cardinal state." *Insert cheesy smile here*

That wasn't in the tourist booklet.

Any who, I was in bed, "SACRE BLEU!! you were in bed at 151?!" Yes yes I was, jealous? Good.
My house is located DIRECTLY next to train tracks, we have one large train that goes by and honestly will shake my house (my house is teeny tiny and 80 years old.)

I'm going to try to give a play by play.
In bed minding my own business, Simba starts growling, what I thought was the train starts vibrating the house, Simba starts barking (Simba NEVER barks at the trains mush less growl) "What the heck Simba shut up. Wait I'm in the bed room, the train doesn't shake the bed room.. Whats going---.' The entire house literally starts swaying back and forth. "Shit." my heart sink, "These are the worst tremors I've felt from an Earthquake." Jumps out of bed. "These aren't tremors." pull open the door run to the front door, and what do i do? Let the dogs out and close the door.... yeah. Not really sure why I didn't go outside with them.
My phone rings I run to get it, "Are you okay?" Devin called from work, Devin never calls from work. "Turn on the news or go online, we don't have internet. They're evacuating people." WTF?! Evacuating people!? I thought he was talking about civi's not people in his building. "The T.V. isn't working." "Call me if you hear anything." *click*
There is nothing online about the quake i just felt except for on USGS, and I don't know how to read that stuff. Thankfully the T.V in the bedroom was working. My phone rings again, "Hey are you okay?" My brother in DC. I go through that again.
I try calling my mom, but cant get through, which means I wont be able to get in touch with Devin at all if i need to. Awesome.

That was the bulk of my day so far. Not looking forward to the aftershocks. 

My heart went out to the people in Japan, I've prayed for them every single night since the day it happened, don't believe me? I have OCD I have to do it, until everything is fixed. no joke. After going through something not even close to what they went through I can't begin to imagine what it must have been like for them. I can honestly say I have never been so scared in my life, I'd fly before I went through another Earthquake.
Did I just say that?
Yep.

Again to those of you who think "Oh it's no big deal." Go punch yourself in the face. People die in Earthquakes all the time, this time we/you were lucky. Get over yourself, you're not God you're not indestructible. And just because it's not your feelings doesn't mean it's any less important.

Fin.
