Power Outage and Earthquake in California

A lot of things have been going wrong lately, unpreventable things. It is just obnoxious how so much has happened in a very short time. I probably wont get into a few things but about 2 days ago a transformer blew up again and our electricity was out from 6 pm to 2 am. I’m beginning to wonder if there is a defect in the transformers near us because this just happened a few months ago-not that long ago!

The next day there was an earthquake just before noon. I haven’t felt an earthquake in a while.. I mean they are always happenning but they are just too tiny to feel. This one was about a 5.4 I really hate the way that earthquakes feel, feels like monsters are under our house shaking it about. It lasted a few seconds and nothing even fell off the walls but still. I was pretty freaked out and actually find my reaction amusing now.

The earthquake didn’t do much damage anywhere but I did see something on the news where the street opened up somewhere and water was spilling out. Some stores also had stuff knocked off shelves. I’m sure it must have felt super weird to have been driving while it happened. Oh well, I’m just glad things are back to normal right now.
