EARTHQUAKE! I WAZ SKERED! Come Laugh With Me

The other day, I waz at home, tending to my owwwnnnn business! I was sitting at my computer table, looking at something on the puter screen with a nice, hot cup of coffee on the desk.

Well, lo and behold, the desk started shakin', the puter started shakin', the speakers started shakin', and I felt the floor (and I have a concrete slab!) shakin'and even I felt like I waz vibratn' !!!!! I stood up and looked down at the coffee cup and sure nuff, the coffee was vibratn', too!!! Now, that was a weird feeling!

I don't drink and I don't do drugs, so I knew I wasn't spaced out or sumpin' like that! But I did know everything was sure shakin'. I went to my kitchen window and looked out to see what I could see. Didn't see a thang unusual. Didn't hear a thang out of usual, either! I did note one kitchen cabinet door was open that I sure nuff did not open myself!

Well, I sat back down at the puter and don't ya know, it started shakin' agin! Now, by this time I waz a mite skered!

EARTHQUAKE!!!!

I live in Louisiana and we don't have earthquakes. Well, I thought of the scriptures!

21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Luke 21:11

Now, I'm not telling this in a disrespectful way, I really did think of this scripture! I had NEVER felt anything like this before! Well, I called a friend of mine that lives an hour or so away from me. This person has been all over the world involved with the oil industry--drilling in the ground--been in earthquake prone areas, etc.. I asked what they thought this could be. They didn't know either, except we agreed that Louisiana is near a "fault" line (I think it's around Arkansas or something) and that Louisiana usually does not have anything to to with feeling earthquakes.

But, I continued to notice short pauses and then vibrations. I continued to look out window and listen, could not see nor hear anything!

Well, I got to thinking about it. I NOTIFIED the EARTHQUAKE CENTER that lets you notify if you feel an earthquake. I filled out the form and told them I did not KNOW that it was an earthquake but something was sure going on and it was something I'd never experienced before! They gave a little wrap-up of my info afterwards and said "whatever" it was was equal to a 2 point something earthquake. OMG!!!!

Well, I started REALLY thinking then! Now mind you, I would not mind that the SAVIOR came, in fact, I would LOVE that. But, until HE does, I kinda like to be aware of what's going on.

They are doing road construction every where you look around here and I decided to call the foreman of the job and make they were not causing it. So, I called him. I told him that I knew it sounded crazy, but I just had to ask him something. I said, "Are you all doing anything on the road project that would have my house shaking?"

AND HE started laughing! We've had to talk a lot through this highway building ordeal, so he wasn't being rude. Well, he said for me to go outside and I would see in just a bit what was going on! Boy! About 5 minutes later here came this HUGE machine. They had to lower the current highway and that meant getting up the old concrete.

That machine was far enough away I could not see the machine nor hear it when it first started affecting my house and me when I'd looked out the window before.

Then that thar biiigggg old machine started pounding the concrete they are removing to build 2 or 3 new lanes over. Now, let me tell you, I THOUGHT the house was shaking before, but man, I want you to know I REALLY was concerned some things might fall off the wall once that thang got going right here in front of my house! Whew!

So, I wasn't going crazy, everything was shaking (AND I DO MEAN SHAKING), , it was not an earthquake (BUT now I know what a 2 pointer might feel like!), and the SAVIOR will come another day!

I hope you enjoyed my fun, true story!
