Well, that didn't go as planned: Episode 3

Last night we had a small tremor. I probably wouldn’t have even woken up except that the dogs suddenly went berserk and were barking up a storm. I think it was about 3am, not quite sure. It wasn’t even enough to make me turn over and check my phone, but once I figured out what was going on I did get a knot in my stomach. Mom, I know I said that I wanted to feel an earthquake while I was here. I changed my mind. That small one was enough and I don’t want to experience anything bigger. I haven’t even been here a week and I can check that off my bucket list.


I just asked around if anyone else felt the quake and Bob, who is a teacher from Arizona and also staying at the guest house, said that he thought he felt something. When I got to the office I asked Sarah and she said we had a 4.4 quake last night. She was hoping I hadn't felt it. So, it wasn’t just a dream! I found this site: http://www.seismonepal.gov.np/ Apparently we had some quakes the previous 2 days as well, although I didn’t detect those at all. Crazy!

  1. I hope your quakes don't get any bigger than that 4.4! Big shakers aren't fun 😛

    1. I am going to take your word for it. That's completely adequate for me.

  2. I experienced a small one in NE New Mexico. Never thought it would be a big deal but it was terrifying! I didn't realize I took the stable ground for granted! One of those things that makes you feel small and powerless.
