San Jose just had a 5.6 earthquake

We had soccer practice today. I got home about 7:00 PM. We had dinner. The girls played a bit. We had rootbear floats and did some scripture study. I herded the girls off to bed. They brushed their teeth and climbed into bed.

A few minutes later the house started to shake. It may have gone on for twenty to thirty seconds. The younger girls were a bit freaked. We tried to call my parents, but we kept getting a busy signal. We got hold of Janine. The girls excitedly told them that the house had rocked and rolled.

The girls have calmed down a bit.

This site shows the earthquake was over 5. Our neighbor heard that it was based in Alum Rock, San Jose, and it was a 5.6.

We'll have to study earthquakes a bit tomorrow.
