And don’t forget shaking! All alone in the KEWL offices, and on the phone with our editor Denise at home…and suddenly the whole building starts wobbling back and forth and all around! I calmly took the phone under my desk and told Denise we were having an earthquake - which she was realizing at just about the same moment 5 miles away! She ran off to find Eeyore before he freaked out, and then we were cut off. And it went on and on! 5.8 on the Richter scale, which is no laughing matter, and it went on for long enough for me to realize it was happening, realize it wasn’t stopping (like they usually do), get under the desk, get back out to hang up the phone, get back under the desk, get back out to answer my cell (BFF calling mid quake!), take cell under the desk and talk about quake still going on! Usually they are over before you manage to finish the sentence, “Hey, is that an earthquake?”

Being a native Californian, I personally prefer to be in a one story home or outside when these things hit, but what can you do when you’re on the second story of a four story building surrounded by glass partition walls?!? I decided for under the desk. I think I deserve an ice-blended mocha - what do you think?

Long story short, everyone is fine, including Eeyore, and KEWL production goes on! Wishing you a safe day where ever you are!
