day 8, 9, 10 of our 65 day journey

I was at a stand still as to what I was going to do on my journey today.  Surviving the biggest earthquake in our history..well here I am ...I am so very thankful that no damage to my house or myself..but I have lived through tornadoes but this scared me so bad.  (Oklahoma has one of the largest fault lines in the world)

I had one trinket fall over, one moved sideways, and then one walked a little bit. 

This is the bible verse I did for tonight 

Mark 4:35-41; Matthew 6:25-34 the passage is way to long to copy. 

I was so very thankful for the CALMING after the STORM!  

I now have a plan for Earthquakes....go outside if at all possible.

Sorry my blog is short tonight.

Bob and I are doing great and will be together soon

Blessings
Rainbow

Thirty days of Thanks..day 6,7 and 8 all rolled into one!Today I am thankful for my safety after the storm (earthquake)  and for Bob's love for me

A 5.6-magnitude earthquake rocked Oklahoma on Saturday bringing countless aftershocks in what was the strongest quake ever according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

Aftershocks continued well in Sunday morning after a weekend of quakes caused a state highway to buckle in three places, destroyed homes and injured one person.

According to CNN, one man was injured as he tripped and hit his head while bolting from his home in Prague. Emergency management said three sites along U.S. Route 62 buckled but since have been repaired.

The USGS reported the largest quake at 5.6 happened at 10:52 p.m. CDT which was mostly responsible for damages done to homes in Lincoln County, east of Oklahoma City.

By early Sunday morning, 10 aftershocks were reported while more, which will likely to continue for months, have been felt. As of Sunday morning, USGS reported 15 earthquakes ranging from 2.7 to 5.6-magnitude happened since 4 a.m. CST on Sunday.

Seismologist Paul Caruso of the USGS said two whopping 4.0 magnitude aftershocks at 3:40 a.m. and about 9 a.m. CST on Sunday was felt as far as Chicago and Texas. Residents of Kansas City, Neb. reported the quake was felt there as well, rattling windows and shacking houses for nearly a minute, according to Reuters. The smallest aftershock, according to the USGS, was 2.7-magnitude.  Caruso also said the USGS Web site crashed during the quake due to the amount of people logging on, which hasn't happened since the last 5.8 magnitude quake in late August.

The quake, which cause has not yet been determined, was the strongest ever in Oklahoma, shattering a record in 1952 when a magnitude 5.5 struck the state. Oklahoma typically endures 50 earthquakes per year, though it frequently gets more tornadoes.

This is the fifth earthquake to shake the U.S. over the past four months, according to USGS data.
