None of us felt the 5.8 magnitude earthquake on Tuesday (8/23/11) at 2 pm. Lots of our friends, and even far away family, have their own personal stories to tell, but we don't. My cousin felt it at Penn State University and my Uncle was in an office in Pittsburgh and felt it. I was rearranging and cleaning Lilly's bedroom, the girls were playing upstairs and Will was sitting at his desk. Sadie was, more than likely, sitting by Will's feet and she didn't react at all. We literally have nothing to report.
And this weekend, we're in the direct path of Hurricane Irene (which has been downgraded to a Category 3 to a Category 1 thankfully).
It's raining here. We woke up around 7:30 with periods of spurting rain with LOTS of swirling clouds in the sky, but the rain was not consistent.
Now, at 9:30, it's raining for sure and it's windy. It's supposed to get worse at the day goes on. High tide is 7:30 pm and that's when it's supposed to be the worst. I can tell it's going to rain all day and all night...and all day tomorrow.
According to our trusty meteorologist, our area is expecting mostly flooding.
We'll probably lose power later today. We've lost it a few times already this morning, but it's always come back one within seconds.
The girls are busy watching a movie in my bedroom because they know they won't be able to when the power goes out.
Will seems to be glued to the tv hurricane coverage.
I'm tucked away in a comfy chair with my coffee listening to the fall of rain on the window in the FROG and catching up on my blog. Saturday mornings don't any better than that.
