CindyT Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 This weather is plum crazy! We just experienced our 3rd earthquake in as little as 4 days! We're not supposed to have earthquakes here (we had never experienced one before)! Now we're in a tornado watch until wee hours of the morning. I don't like this one bit. What do the safety guru's say about how to handle this...stay inside or go outside? I think I'll just go to bed and pull the covers over my head.

IBQLTN2 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 sounds like you are having pretty crazy weather, I think I would go to bed and cover my head as well. Weather has been so weird the last few years you never know what to expect except the unexpected anymore. Praying you will be safe!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 That's scary. Unplug your machine! You don't want any electrical shocks going through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boni Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Praying...I hope it goes away before Thanksgiving...too many people traveling over the holidays to encounter that sort of weather/conditions. Keep in touch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Cindy, I know what your saying, "were not supposed to have earthquakes in Virginia either". I think the earth is turning on it axis, this has been a crazy year. Be safe and thinking about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 It is very un-nerving....after our earthquake I kept feeling those aftershocks and it was just pardon the pun - unsettling...at least with the tornadoes you have some warnings but - geesh! Enough of the bad weather already.....stay safe and work on something for yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Cindy. the best place to be is outside where no power lines or trees, buildings can fall on you. That is for earthquakes. For tornado's I think you know what to do there.. we have one spot in our hall with 4 doorways close together.. we get in there with blankets and pillows to protect us.. it might stop particles from impaling us. Just get in a place away from windows, where you have the strongest area.. for one or two, a bathtub will usually help. Stay safe and well. prayers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsha Nichols Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Cindy, understand about the mixed weather. I am in Ponca City, OK and this was my first earthquake. I didn't know you could hear an earthquake coming before you felt the shaking. Luckily, we had little damage. We are in a valley and generally watch the tornados "clouds" go around us. where are you in Kansas? Keep safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-Jane Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hope all settles down for all. It is hard to sleep and keep an even keel when all this is going on with the weather and earth!!! Keep Safe!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o2b Quilting Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 People here are getting freaked out about the fact that we are under our first winter storm watch of the season...for Pete's sake people--we live in Minnesota!! It's going to snow eventually. We are expecting 50 degree weather for the weekend so it won't last. I wonder what these people would say if we had earthquake tremors and tornado watches in November? I hope your night was uneventful and that today is a great day for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda, I unplug my machine after each use (daily). I don't want to risk anything electrical happening to it, AND it stays unplugged when the threat of lightening is in the area.

Littleshoes Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 It's pretty crazy here too.... It was snowing last week, now this week it's 65 out. Rain for weeks at a time and very little sun. We had a few earthquakes here as well. Stay safe and hope things work out for the best there. Carol, Pgh.

CindyT Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I keep trying to respond to this, but something's amiss with computer this morning. Thanks for all the concerns and prayers and we actually had an uneventful night after the earthquake. I have a new respect for those affected by earthquakes as they are scary with no warnings. Marsha, we are feeling the same quake as I'm just north of Bartlesville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlnewell Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hi Cindy, You're feeling the quakes all the way into KS? The epicenter is about 20 miles or so from us. This has been my first experience with an earthquake. Last night, I hadn't been watching the weather and thought maybe a tornado was near (but no, thankfully they were way to the southwest), but it was another quake. I felt a small one about an hour ago as I was talking to the insurance agent about adding an earthquake endorsement to our policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Good idea to add earthquake coverage, I have 3 cracked walls and one in my ceiling from our quake back in August and learned that our homeowners does not cover damage caused by earthquakes...who knew we'd have one?

Von Roberts Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Oh my goodness I really do feel for you all, earthquakes are horrible and quite frightening as you have no idea when they will happen. Having never experienced a tornado I can imagine that they are pretty horrible too , the only thing I guess is you get notice of it in advance and can get protection but the result can be just as devastating as an earthquake. take care and be safe. thinking of you all Yvonne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
