Thanks for the messages asking about my well being following the earthquake. I have no damage here at my house. I had a few things fall and some things move around a bit. The sound was extremely loud and got me out of a dead sleep. That scared the crap out of me and I screamed the entire time which left my throat quite raw. I did remember to lay down next to my bed (triangle of safety) once I realized what was happening. I spent that time wondering how long it would last and how bad it would be. Those were my only thoughts. The neighbors are ok. The upstairs neighbors across the driveway had quite a different experience with things falling and breaking as well as many things falling from the walls and all doors/cupboards opening. The neighbors have lived here for 58 years and its only the third earthquake they have felt here. They could see the electricity transformers exploding all over the valley. The power was out in the valley; Ive never seen it so dark. By some amazing occurrence, my power stayed on which made it a lot less scary afterward. I sat outside for about 45 minutes as I didnt feel comfortable being inside. However, it was COLD so I eventually went back inside. I found myself working with this concept with Eloheim: It was dangerous, it could be dangerous again, its not dangerous now. I had to work on removing my focus from what could be and instead focus on my current experience. I relaxed my body and lowered my heart rate which allowed me to sleep. I just woke up and Im watching the news. Seems like there was a lot of damage to the area. The epicenter was South of me about 30 miles or so. There is quite a bit of damage in Napa. I live in Sonoma and havent seen updates on that yet. We havent had significant aftershocks here. I only felt one that was a smaller version of the first and another that woke me up but didnt last any noticeable amount of time. I just heard that the bridges made it through the earthquake. Thats good news. Thanks again for your concern and well wishes.
