We got a little rain -
But no flooding and we didn't lose power -
And we had an EARTHQUAKE!! -
But no damage in our area -
I was afraid we might lose power -
So I planned to turn my computer off at noon - just in case -
Until then - I sewed - as stress-reliever therapy -
And I'll show you tomorrow how far I got -
At noon I turned off the computer -
And we watched TV weather reports -
Around 2PM - we decided to take naps - before the worst was to hit -
Then at 2:41PM I felt a SHARP JOLT -
And the cellphone EMERGENCY ALERTS started blaring -
EARTHQUAKE - originally 6.0 - less than 20 miles away -
Later downgraded to 5.1 - with damage in Ojai -
We scrambled to the interior bathroom to wait for aftershocks -
But luckily we didn't feel any -
Needless to say -
There was no more "napping" after that -
We turned the TV back on -
And watched as the storm veered off to the EAST -
Leaving us on the western edge -
With just a little rain -
Anyway - we eventually went to bed --
And woke up to see the reports of downed trees and submerged cars -
We were LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!! -
It could have been SO much worse -
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Aha! So stress activated your mojo. Glad you are okay
I'm happy your area was spared. They said the earthquake has nothing to do with the tropical storm so what a strange coincidence that they happened at the same time.
Glad you are safe!
Happy to hear you are safe and didn't get any damage. Hurricanes are a big reason we moved from FL. But gosh, you had to deal with an earthquake, too!!!
