03/13/2011: "Japan Earthquake"

Thousands have died and more to come. I imagine it could be as bad here on our Island. I wonder what would happen to the shopping center if a Tsunami hit us. I was weeding the boxwoods when the last one came through. It was just a rolling of the parking lot and only lasted a few seconds. I was also in the 1965 quake and that one was very scary. I had a new baby and another on the way. I grabbed my son who was in his bassinet because it was in front of a huge mirror that was banging on the wall. My first instinct was to run outside but when I opened the door I heard the kids screaming as they ran out of the three story brick grade school that was across the street. My step-mother kept screaming to get under the archway so I did. I heard on the news today that the archway isn't the best place to be, instead you should find something solid and lay down next to it. It ended a few seconds later. Even that one was only a 6.4 or 5 so I can just imagine what a 8.9 or 9. is like.
It's sure going to take them a long time to recover from this one. At least it takes away the focus on Charlie Sheen in the news casts, although it's harder to watch the videos of Japan's destruction than it is to see Charlie self-destruct. Grow up Charlie and "Let's All Dance" so we can start the day off right.
