Earthquake in OK

This has been the craziest few months with the weather and the elements. Hottest summer on record while I'm pregnant, tornado warnings, drought, fires nearby, biggest wind/hail/thunderstorm I've been in (2 days before I delivered!), and now, an earthquake - 4.7 magnitude. There wasn't any damage anywhere, but at 2 in the morning I woke out of a deep sleep to our entire house shaking. I could not figure out what was going on. Everyone woke up but quickly went back to sleep. I think normally it would have been kind of cool (because nothing/no one was hurt) but Ben is out of town so I was just scared. Speaking of, Ben is at an equine surgery conference in Chicago and coming home tomorrow. And at Oakridge he is on a new rotation with one of the surgeons. Last month he was on "ambulatory" so he went on all the calls that were away from the clinic, which meant less surgeries and lameness evaluations-two things he loves- so it should be an interesting month for him.

Update: Another one just happened tonight. 5.6, largest in OK history, although still no damage. Apparently with a jump from 4 to 5 it's an exponential jump by 10. (I don't even know what that actually means. Just worse.) I honestly couldn't tell when it stopped because I was shaking so bad myself. It's kinda scary, not cool anymore. I can't wait for Ben to get home. I'm so grateful for our 72 hour kit, not that we need it now, but it sure gives me peace of mind.

And another update on Tuesday: We keep having tremors, aftershocks, whatever they're called. It still kinda unnerves me, but Ben doesn't seem rattled at all. And I have to admit, there is absolutely no damage at all (although someone's neighbor did have a huge crack in a big window) and it is kind of cool that I felt an earthquake now. Knock on wood that is the biggest one!
