Another Earthquake July 19th, 1:02 AM
Well, another earthquake report! This one woke me up, and I can't compare the intensity to the last one, but Jim was standing at the time and he said it felt about twice as strong as the last one. This time we had a lamp fall over and break, and the glass cover jumped off a potpourri dish and the dried flours jumped out. Other than a few crooked pictures on the wall, however, that was the extent of the 'damage'. Jim was guessing it was about 6.5 to 6.8, and a few minutes later he got the offical figures on the internet at a quake of 6.3.
Interestingly enough, our cats both were behaving in an unusual manner about 2 hours before the quake. Spike, our big cat acted scared and went bouncing down the stairs, then bounded into the living room. Buzzbomb went rocketing around the living room too. At first i thought they were playing, but somehow it didn't look like their usual racing around or playing. I was puzzled by it at the time and Jim and I discussed that they were behaving a little oddly.
Next time they act like that, we will definately take note!
