EARTHQUAKE!!!!!

A 7.2 earthquake rocked the Baja and was felt as far north as Los Angeles and as far East as Phoenix, and we are in that region. It was a big one!!! Juana and I were in a theater watching How to Train Your Dragon with Jesus and Lupita Padilla. The whole place started shaking, and people panicked. I have been in a number of earthquakes in Mexico City, but none like this one. It was just like in the movies, with the rumbling and shaking. It seemed to last for 5 minutes or so. Kendi was at Oasis with Karla and was frightened, but did the right thing, went right to the meeting point with her hands on her head. Everyone was in shock but the mood lightened up and all were laughing about it. We went to Bethel and everyone was fine there, filled with stories of how it felt. No apparent damage here, all are fine. The lights went out, and we were over 7 hours without electricity, cell phones and water. We thank you for your prayers and concerns, all is well. Pray for the Santos family, they were closer to the epicenter on a mini vacation, we are hoping they are OK.
