Who would have thunk another major earthquake would hit so soon? We were blown away with the news about Chile...and also the tsunami warning that followed. As we were getting ready for church on Sunday morning, we were hearing these warnings on the loudspeaker every hour on the hour:
Then, after we returned home, they were announcing evacuations of all the low-lying areas...including some of our bases.
Our neighborhood is up on a hill, so we had no worries, but we sure hoped it would turn out to be nothing for everyone down by the water.
We waited until just before the tsunami was supposed to strike, and did what most of the neighborhood did...
Walked down the street to where we could see the water, just in case that huge tidal wave rolled in.
It was just one big Sunday afternoon block party.
But, there was really nothing out of the ordinary.
Just typical, hazy sky over calm waters.
Not that we were complaining...believe me!
Better safe than sorry, I say.
I think we've had all the excitement we need around here for a good long while.

Man, that would have freaked me out to hear those announcements. Good thing nothing came of it!
