Wow, that must have been quite the adventure–one to tell the grandkids about someday. I’m glad you made it through, Deanna, and that you have such a positive attitude about a very frightening experience. Bless you.

I was living on Okinawa at the time almost two years ago…already! It was upgraded to a 7.0. I thought we were going to die that morning. It was right at 0530 and I was awakened by my bed shaking violently. We experienced many earthquakes there…5.8-ish and lower…the 3 years we were stationed there. None could compare to that one, though. But, we were ready to go!

Through the years there have been signs, and I remember people heading for the hills (literally) because they were convinced the end was at hand. I appreciate your post and how you did some research. It may serve as a reminder to some to live each and every day to its fullest, as though it could be their last.
My favorite part of your post is the scripture from Psalms – a perfect parting word! Thanks!

Also as a native Californian, I have experienced many earthquakes. But none compared to the San Simeon quake. Here’s why: After my boss screamed “Get out!” and I raced out to the parking lot and kneeled on the asphalt to keep from falling down, an audible grumbling rumble passed from my left and continued eastward. Several other employees stood or sat near me. We looked at each other with eyes wide open in amazement. Yes, it was definitely a groan. And that’s when I experienced Romans 8:22. Come, Lord Jesus.
