Just be thankful that you were not hurt. I was at Anchorage in 64 when the 9.2 hit. I decided real fast that I don’t like the ground moving under me.
At least I can now hide from bad weather. I went through the F-5 tornado in Ok City in 99 and decided I don’t care for them too much either.
But, I do still have some family in Calif and I pray for them to remain safe. I don’t know how they are going to survive with the tax rates there.
I was hurt...so to speak of. All we could think of at the time was get to the kids, as I jump out of bed, foot snag on whatever bedding and belly flopped on the floor..broke some bone in my foot. It was no big deal though. I didn't even notice it until the next day. My fault for moving too fast during the event. Not good, as during any event, one should try their best to avoid injury, as help may not exist at the time.
Maybe ask them to join you in Tennessee. Take them in, and share brother! Stock the fridge prior to their arrival an be sure they have tasty yummies on demand.
I'll reserve or hold back my laughter, depending on your response.
