It couldn´t have been the wind.

This morning, while I was mylotting, the small bell like stones that hang at a corner of my bedroom started to move. They are made from slices of semiprecious stones that I bought once in Brazil and they told me that that color helped health. I bought them because they would sound when the earth moved and that would mean health as I would escape from an earthquake. Today the bells gave their beautiful sound. I looked up and my lamp in the middle of my room was moving too. No sound from the center of the earth. Weird. But just in case, I put on my flip flops, shooed away Luna who thought I had come out for a moment of romping and checked more signs. No wind, no sound, no nothing. I then checked online when I came back and none of the 6 quakes we have had today in my country had been at this time. Maybe my own way of knowing about earthquakes is better than the government´s. But I´ll be on the lookout. Friends, I DO NOT like earthquakes. I´m scared of them. And now that we are talking about medals here due to the panamerican games, we have the gold medal in quakes in my country. Not that I´m happy about that. I´ll go check a second time. See you later.

We have earthquakes here every day. But my house is very safe. Still, I run out every time I feel one.

@wolfgirl569 I have a 2 story house but my bedroom is in the first floor. And it has a glass door that I call the earthquake door.

It was so tiny that I think that only I felt it.

I can understand that earthquakes can be scary. I am lucky not to have experienced any major quake but when I live in NYC a handful of times I seriously felt the floor shake and move. Being on the 5th floor this certainly worried me but nothing more than that ever happened, Stay safe and I hope nothing will occur,

I hope it was a false alarm. I don't like earthquakes either but we have very few here.
