Happy Quake-iversary, East Coast!

[Cookies Galore]

It was five years ago today that my office floor vibrated weirdly and the plants atop a file cabinet would not stop swaying. We are all survivors. #neverforget

Oh yeah - I was on maternity leave with DS when it hit. I just thought maintenance was fixing something next door. I remember picking DS up and walking to the window in his room. People started walking outside. And then X called to ask if I was okay since there was an earthquake. I was like "whaaaaaat?!"

So you survived the Northridge quake.  Big deal.  I survived being left home alone with two young kids for four weeks because of that quake.  Then-wife worked for an insurance company and flew down to help handle claims.  Four weeks!  Young kids!  ME!!  

Think I've got you beat.

I'm glad you all lived through it.

You are Super 's!

I saw that on my Facebook memories, too.

I was in my cube at work when the walls vibrated. I asked my cubemate if he was shaking the cube wall. haha.
