May21 Project: Day 1 (later the same day)

I finally was able to get on line. It’s still May 21, about 10:14 PM. The power has been off most of the day, but now it seems to mostly be back on. Earthquake! It was a 7.6 kind of big, and we have had 4-5 strong aftershocks. From what news I have been able to get, the earth quakes seem to have been worldwide. Some, way worse than here.

Cindy , Jonny, and Danny are fine, but I have not been able to get a hold of Chris. I was hoping to see a status from him on Facebook, but no such luck. Long distance phone and cell service is not working well, and Skype is down. I hope over the next few days that will get back to normal.

Morgan Hill seems to be relatively OK, but weird. There does seem to be folks missing. Some of our neighbors did not answer their door bells, but I don’t know if they were just out, or too scared to open the door.

Over all though, there does not seem to be panicking, like I expected, though the grocery stores seem to be getting emptied. No Looting, but folks are buying up all the food and batteries… and stuff like that. Hopefully we can get some better news on what is happening, tomorrow. I plan to go to church, and see what everyone else knows.

  1. Hadn't you heard? Church was cancelled as the visiting GA never made it off his plane. The police are investigating as we speak.
