HEY, what was that?? Our whole house is shaking and lamps are falling off tables ... AGAIN!! Lucy is hiding in the closet, but my human artist explained to the rest of us that this was the second earthquake we've had this morning, the first one 5.4 magnitude, and we've had 12 aftershocks so far. It was caused by the Wabash Valley Fault, which runs under the Wabash River, just down the street from our house!Did any of our midwest friends feel it? Are you all okay? We don't like it and want it to STOP! Here are some news reports:
Now, while my whole staff is running around with dilated pupils whapping each other because they're freaked, my weirdo human is sweeping stuff off the floor, singing Carole King lyrics ...
I feel the earth move under my feet,
I feel the sky tumblin' down ... tumblin' down ... tumblin' down ...
Rocky, I am SO sorry! The news this morning said that we could feel it all the way over here in Atlanta, but I have to admit we all slept through it so I wouldn't know.
ReplyDeleteDearest Rocky,
ReplyDeleteHow SKEERY! Are you guys okay? Dang ol' earthquakes! You guys be careful, 'kay?
Very truly yours,
The Whiskers & Purrs Gang
We didn't feel it. Mom an Dad is frum Catifornia an fink dat's only a little quake, but I fink it's big enuf! Stay away frum stuff dat mite fall!

We're glad you're all right. Stay on solid ground till the aftershocks stop. (No climbing onto high perches.)
ReplyDeleteMy grandma and grandpa live in Indianapolis, and grandma told mom they definitely felt it - she said it felt like a really bad storm.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! We are glad you are all safe! We would be hiding, too! Be safe! We will purr for no more shaking grounds!
ReplyDeleteYour FL furiends,
oooh an earthquake!!!! I can't say I have ever experienced one and I do sympathise with all of you! x
ReplyDeleteWe were all in the bathroon helping Mommy wake up this morning and we did feel it. Mommy thought she was hallucinating.
ReplyDeleteBut then she remembered that she's old and doesn't take trips like that anymore...
We bet you cats felt da earthquake long before da humans did huh? We am glad efurrything is ok and nuffin falled on yur heads. Earthquakes are scary stuff.
ReplyDeleteDis is da second time dat mom has experienced stuff "buzzing" because of a earthquake in da midwest and she hoped dat effuryone dat was close to it is okay and dat it don't happen again fur another 40 years!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are all safe! I have never been in an earthquake before, but my Mommie grew up in southern California and she said they are a little bit scairty!
ReplyDeleteNone of us were borrnded yet when da quakey fing happened in 2004 but momma was awake fur dat one. She finks she mighta gotted woken up dis time but she's not sure wot time she wokeded up to know if it wuz da quake.
ReplyDeleteMomma did some reeedin today an he saw dat da Noo Madrid fault is gettin bizzier. So mebbe more quakeys instead of less?
We're glad you are all safe. Earthquakes are scary.
ReplyDeleteWe have those all the time - I hope you are ok.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, Rocky, that sounds very scary. Momma lived in Los Angeles for a long time, and she said earthquakes really freak her out, and that she hopes you are getting extra cuddles to relax.
ReplyDeleteYour buddy, Jimmy Joe
Crikey! Are you SURE it wasn't caused by someone playing thundering herd of elephants??
ReplyDeleteRocky, we felt the earthquake here in St. Louis. Our dresser mirror started shaking and making a lot of noise, and it scared us so much we all ran out of the bedroom. Then when momma was at work she felt a second one that moved her chair. It was scary! We hope all of you are okay ... we are.
ReplyDeletePurrs and headbutts,
Sabrina, Sam and Simon
It's us again, we just watched the MSNBC video and saw the road momma takes to go to work called Kingshighway. It was closed for a while but was opened up at by the time momma went to work.
ReplyDeleteYikes! We for sure wouldn't like that one little bit. We're glad you're all OK!
ReplyDeleteOh no, Oh no! I do not fink that earthquakes are any fun! I do not have them here in Florida, but I imagine they are only about as much fun as our hurricanes...acourse I has not been alive for a hurricane yet, but I has heard stories!
ReplyDeleteWe slept through it here. Mum can sleep through most anything!
ReplyDeleteHope no major damage, don't cut any paws.
holy smokies--the wabash is right there amongst you!! glad that you is all OK! ("freaked" staff is better than hurted staff.) thank goo'ness that's all they are. we hopes the beans gets all the broke stuff cleaned up soon so there are no hurty paws or feets. "shake, rattle, an' roll" was a popular song when our mom was a kidlet--we bets you guys don't like the real thing quite as much!
ReplyDeletewe din't feel nuthin' here in new madrid country, although mom got up to go to the litterbox room about that time. but there's nuthin' unusual in that. if she doesn't get up then for that, she gets up acause nitro's internal food alarm went off an' he's rattlin' the door;-) someday, she's gonna rattle him!
We are so glad none of you were hurt!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you guys are OK!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have never felt an earthquake,I bet it is scary :o
Be safe!!!
Purrs Mickey
Mommy and I are so glad you are OK!!! I can't believe there was 12 aftershocks!! They reported only 1 that was felt in Nashville (aftershock that is).
ReplyDeleteNow that Mommy knows it wasn't my fault, I am much happier!!
Golly! While your human has a great sense of humor, according to my Mom, I'd be a little concerned about stuff falling on my head! Hide under the bed!
ReplyDeleteOh my EARTHquakes! Glad you are all okay!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness! We are glad that you are okay! Mommy read about the earthquakes. They sound VERY SCARY!!! Please be careful!
ReplyDeleteI don't like earthquakes, either, and I advise you to hide under the bed. BTW, you might enjoy my latest blog post about Purrover, or the holiday the humans call Passover.
ReplyDeleteRocky!!!! Good grieef! I tinks you all needz to gets in da tellyporter & come outs here fur awhile. All we have iz SNOW!!!! we are not supposed to haz SNOW & you iz not supposed to haz EARTYQUAKES! Dat iz wackee!

In da meantime, here iz a package of nice nip chip cookiez fur you to try out.

Just found out about the quake - we here in Ozland is rather insulated form news abroad. Glad nothing too bad has happened to my friends at Artsy Catsy.
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Momo
Hi Artsy Catsy,
ReplyDeleteWe are very glad everyone is ok. Earthquakes can be very very scary. Momma, Daddy bean and myself wanted to thank you once again for all the fundraising and everything you have done for us! We received the check in the mail and deposited it today. Thanks again!
Purrs and Headbutts,
Moki and the gang
Sorry the earthquake was so scary for all of you. But glad you're all ok.
ReplyDelete5.4 is actually a pretty respectable - about the size of the one in San Jose last year. I guess we get used to them out here.
oh guys are you all ok?
ReplyDeleteplease find a safe & secure place to hide yourselves when it happen again, ok?
have your beans thinking about how to rescue you all or any emergwncy preparation before for any anticipation?
purrs & kittyhugs,
1st ManCat Monday furr Big Brother Bunjie, Meaouwy Troops leader
There may be an even bigger one coming according to the news, so brace yourself. How strange to have earth quakes in the midwest.
ReplyDeleteWe're in SE Whisk-onsin and it woke Mom up that morning. We're glad to hear you guys are all OK.
ReplyDeleteThe Crew
I read there was another aftershock and this is the first chance I've gotten to check in on you. I'm glad you're all physically OK.
ReplyDeleteBendrix wants to say something:
Hey Artsy Catsy cats, this is a prime opportunity for whapping. You see, if, when the ground shakes, you whap whatever you want to the floor, the beans won't be able to blame you. They'll blame the earth shaking. Just a little suggestion from me to you...
Anyway, we're both glad you're all OK and we hope the ground never shakes again (Bendrix: after a good whapping session of course)
A tumblin' down, a tumblin' down! I signed the petition for the Rothrocks and left a comment, too!
