An earthquake happened here at 8.05 pm, nine miles from San Jose. It was 5.6 on the Richter Scale. The TV guy described it as a "good solid moderate quake". We are all well. The whole house rocked for 12 seconds. One picture fell off the wall and was broken.
Sienna now knows that you should get under a table when an earthquake happens and cover your head. Or, run outside or run run run to the bathroom or stand under a load bearing wall. Sebastian, Ian and Sienna are currently practising the "run run run" part and hiding under tables and running out of doors!
