Did you feel it too?!

So I chose to sleep in today because I had a very busy week. I didn't wake up until about 2:30 in the afternoon. Yeah, that’s how tired I was! I was woken up by the shaking of my bed. Mind you, I was the ONLY person in the room so how could my bed sway from side to side like that?! I opened my eyes and looked at both sides of my bed and saw nothing. I also thought that maybe some interstate cargo/traveling trucks were passing by with heavy items such as furniture and/or other heavy packages but nope. But when I saw the closed shade also vibrating, it dawned on me…we were having an earthquake! But thank God it was only at 4.8 magnitude. I wasn't scared or anything but it sure did catch me off guard. On the news they said that my state hasn’t had an earthquake for 140 years! I’m gonna do research on it to find out what the magnitude was back then. I felt a much lighter and shorter earthquake back in the 2010s during the summertime I believe. At first I thought it was my heart rate that sped up all of sudden, as it does on occasion, then I thought maybe I was experiencing a little vertigo. I was sitting down on my staircase leading up the rooms when this happened. At the time I was living with my mom and I told her, “Mom?! We’re having an earthquake!” I believe she felt it too. Of course they spoke about it on the news and so many different people were saying that they thought they felt dizzy from not eating breakfast or taking their meds on time. At that time the state of Virginia was having a pretty heavy quake that same day! I learned that many of the states on the East Coast of the US share the same tectonic plates so if one state is experiencing a quake, the affect will travel to its neighboring states which is what happened back then. As a believer, I truly believe that we are in the last days of the last age. In the book of revelations it did say that in the last days there would be thunder, lightning and earthquakes taking place. Thunder struck yesterday in the city then lightning struck the Statue of Liberty right at the torch in her hand! Now today we have the earthquake and on April 8th we’re having a solar eclipse which will cause some chaos I’m hearing. I will BE SURE to stay home that day. I’m not afraid at all. I am as cool as a cucumber all while making sure my relationship with God is good before my time is up. What was your experience today? What was your day like? Did you guys n gals feel the earthquake too?

I live in Europe, I think that only those close to the epicenter of the earthquake felt it.

I am on the west coast so I did not feel a thing. Stay safe.
