Earthquake Orchid ~ So named because this orchid felt the earth move at 3:21 AM last night with the 6.1 earthquake we had in our area. We are all okay for now. 🙂
We watched that on the news this morning. We lived in California (southern) during the late 1980’s early 1990’s. We had our share of earthquakes also. Glad you are safe.
I’m okay now…but in the middle of the night with the house moving back and forth for about 20 seconds…I was not okay then. Pretty terrifying. How about you? Are you okay?
I have been reading online what transpired last night and I immediately began to think of people I may know in the area of the quake/aftershocks. I wasn’t sure of whom I may know from WP – but regardless, I have been thinking about everyone affected. Please be safe – xxxxx we are thinking about you.
Thanks David. I’ve thought a lot about it today and living in California, you kind of accept the fact that the earth will simply move from time to time. But it was the first time that I’ve felt to such a great extent the incredible power of nature and how tiny we really are. It was the sound, more than anything else that got to me. What I heard was the “sound” of an earthquake…for about 20 seconds, as the house moved back and forth, a low pitched, constant, and very eerie grumbling of the earth. Such power.
Hope you are safe. How cool is this orchid? Lovely!
We are safe…the city of Napa suffered a lot of damage though. Thank you. 🙂

Glad you’re okay… 🙂
