Earthquake

Who would guess that this sunset would predict our first earthquake this morning at 7:56 AM?

Of course, we should be thankful that we didn't wake up in Peru today. Our earthquake was just a little bit of rock and roll. The dishes did rattle and the house did vibrate, but the shaking only lasted a few seconds. However, there was no doubt that it was an earthquake, and although it was not serious, there was that first quick intake of breath and moment of anticipatory fear. Earthquakes are expected here in New Zealand, and inhabitants are advised to prepare for them with an earthquake kit - three days worth of water, torches, rain gear, sleeping bags, an emergency kit, toilet paper, etc. Hey, don't ask me - I'm just the messenger.
