had busy scheduled and about 830 those plans got re-arranged.....seemed like the building might come down. a 7.0 quake with epicenter 8 miles north of us.

power stayed on but scanners and flouroscope etc went out. our valley clinic lost power and it is still out

many strong aftershocks. a few broken glass ware items at home

lots more damage at our home in the valley

had five patients i needed to do spinal injections on today, but will have to do those next week

chaos still reigns for a while and traffic is awful

this last picture shows our christmas tree...didnt fall over but the little crocheted angel was well up on the tree..........somehow she became detached from her hanger and landed just where you see her !

did she protect us ?

My dad had a forestry school classmate (also his wife's parents boarded my mom at college) who were in AK for the 1964 earthquake. Somewhere I have the 2 or 3 photos they sent us of the aftermath. Astonishing!

and of course, we are !

Yep, that would do it. Talk about no where to run. Glad you came out safe.

it was interesting to say the least. Wasn't a big one but my bunk skated across my highly waxed floor! The first big one I experienced was in 1975 in Korea. This was the big earthquake that killed so many people in China. NOt a blessed thing you can do about it.
