Easter, Rock and rolling

Today we were having a great Easter lunch with friends when what happens but an earthquake. Now having earth quakes in southern California is not a big thing. I am sure I have been through 100's of them, but today was a bit different. The size of this earth quake was 7.2 and was about 100 miles south east of where I live. Most of the earth quake I have been through are a few seconds of shaking or rolling at the most, Today's quake went on and on and on. It had to be 25 or 30 seconds. Now I know what some people are thinking that isn't long at all but when you don't know what is going to happen next like is the house going to fall over or is a gas line going to break and we are going to blow up 25 seconds is FOREVER. My friends have a pool in the back yard and we watched the water move all around in the pool and we thought is was all going to splash out. Thanks goodness we are all OK and nothing but a farmed picture fell at my friends house. My home was fine and nothing was broken. Some area's around town have broken windows, friends who live east of us about 90 miles had more happen with glass wear broken, TV's that fell and other things happen in there homes. No deaths that I now of in San Diego but I do know that where the quake hit in Mexcali will probably be a different story. Pray that these people who live in the hard hit area are ok!
