Yesterday, as my parents are getting ready to go out of town for a few days, my Mom sends me this email that since there have been earthquakes recently, she thinks we're about to have one and that my Aunt in Utah will be the contact point if there's an earthquake in Ca. that knocks out the phones locally. Otherwise, if it's out of state, everyone will call her.

I quickly dismissed it as yeah yeah - whatever Mom.

And then I woke up this morning and am pretty sure my Mom's psychic!

That reminds me, we need a new out of state contact. My parents refuse to do any sort of emergency kit or disaster planning and it drives me batty. Their earthquake kit is at least 5 years old and I'm sure the food and water has gone bad.

I actually thought Mufasa jumped on the bed. 19 pounds of kitty feels like a 5.0 on a mattress.

However, Merlynn (the cockatiel) alerted us because it shook her off her perch.

I was too lazy to get out of bed (call me when we have a real earthquake), but I wonder if our chameleons fell off their branches. They are clutzy and fall off regularly without the earth moving.

It seems that there have been an unusual number of tremors lately. We even had one (4.6 I believe) up here in the PNW last week. What I'm curious to know is if the tally really is rising, or if the media is so hungry for more Haiti-like coverage that they're inflating it all to make headlines, which wouldn't surprise me in the least.

My local AM news today: "Earthquake in Los Angeles area this morning"

Huh? My ears perked up.

Continuing: "A magnitude 4.2 quake briefly shook the LA area this morning..."

Wha?? 4.2? Geeze. Next story please. I don't need to know each time Kevy passes gas.

They are making it sound like the strength and energy is rivaling Chile or Haiti. I guess there is some earthquake envy by the media outlets.

It seems we are having more strong quakes and the plates are really shifting. I'm interested in seeing a map of the plates before the Bali quake a few years ago and now. Or even before the Haiti quake and now.
