On Monday night, Sis came to us with some concerns, namely what she should do in the event of an earthquake, of all things. After telling her that people often stand in doorways, we assured her that earthquakes are relatively rare in Connecticut. Mama even pulled out a map of fault lines so we could compare California to Connecticut.
And then we had an earthquake here on the East Coast, centered in Maine, the very next evening. At 7:15 to be precise, while we were reading our bedtime story, Mouse in the Motorcycle. But we didn't feel a thing. I only heard about it later on FB, though it noted that they did feel it in other parts of CT.
After we tucked in the kids, and learned of the earthquake, Mama said, "Do you think she's going to start predicting natural disasters now?!"
I'll tell you the next time she mentions them.
Not necessarily a silly question. After all there are many people who can divine water some hundreds of feet below ground level. There was an earthquake in Milan, Italy shortly before 1960 and I was told that all the pigeons on the Duomo took off shortly before the quake, clearly they felt it coming, 'tis possible Sis got some early vibrations. You could try to check with some seismological laboratory as to when they first got wind of your tremors.
ReplyDeleteIf she does start making predictions, would you mind giving me a heads up too?? :)
