Earthquake

We were awaken yesterday morning at 5:30am to the house shaking like crazy. We immediately jumped out of bed and ran to get Ashlin who was half awake wondering what was going on. I ran to the living room because all i heard was glass clinking. We have a glass cabinet full of glasses and they were swaying. Nothing broken thank goodness. The earthquake lasted about a minute but it felt like 10. We really didn't know what to do. I have never had to prepare for anything like that. We know what to do during hurricanes, tornado's and now typhoons but earthquakes are new for us. They reported it being a 7.3 earthquake. Thank goodness there was no damage anywhere.
Also yesterday there was a planned power outage for our buildings from 8-3. So we were preparing for a day with no electricity trying to find something to do with the kids (Ashlin and her friend gabriel). We couldn't take them to the beach because of the tsunami warnings in effect, the playgrounds were muddy from the rain we got the night before. So we decided to go were we know there is going to be power the shopping center. It ended up being a beauitful day after all the excitement of the morning. It go up to 77 degrees and felt so good out.
Now today there is a tsunami warning out for all of the pacific ocean until 3 pm. All kinds of excitement here on okinawa.
