yep.
about 4:30am-ish,the time my kitty usually goes berserk on me...chasing
her tail and kneading my hind end...all of the folks in my home came
stunned into the center hall,thinking that the cat was indeed the culprit
of such a shake up in each of our rooms...but then the shaking came again
and ended,just like that.
a very unnerving feeling.
a wake up call.
another one day at a time reminder.

Wow....that would be scary to me! But then we have tornadoes (lots) in Oklahoma and we get use to hiding in the closet. But the best way to live life is in the present. I think you have that figured out!
