Friday Flash 55 - A Whole Lot of Shaking Going On - April 8, 2011




Japan has faced another quake,
With so much yet to do,
It seems so overwhelming,
With all that they've been through.

In Mexico, a quake was felt,
I felt a pang of fear,
With all this seismic turmoil,
Will San Francisco have one here?

In 1989, we had a 6.9 earthquake which was pretty scary!

  1. We on the west coast are all left wondering "Will it happen here?"

  2. The earth shifts ever so once in a while, stretching her taut limbs never realising she is leaving her children high and dry.

  3. Yes alot of rocking and rolling in our world.
    SF sits on sludge - used to love earthquakes as a kid.

    I laughed at your comment about STDs and wondered what do people do? Call their SO "Hi honey - the funniest thing I have ..."

  4. Holy Cow! 6.9. I can't imagine. I about 1986 or so I felt aftershocks of a like, 3, and that felt pretty major.

    So nice of you to keep thinking of others, Carmen!!

  6. Earthquakes are scary stuff. I remember your 1989 quake. We had one here in Detroit around that time too. most of us never knew we lived above a fault line until then. Ours was only large enough to feel and let us know it was there.

  8. so hard to ask mother Earth to be still, hope and pray though that when it shakes it will happen in an unpopulated place and everyone be safe. thanks for your thoughts, Carmen.
