Safe, but I did feel it shake!

Last night I was overly excited to have 600 new pictures from our trips to Bali and Kalimantan.  So I was up until 1 a.m. getting them onto my hard drive.  A little after midnight, it started to shake.  For a moment, you kinda freak out, wondering if it will grow in intensity.  Then it stays a soft, steady shaking for a good 20-30 seconds, and what do you do?  You know it's an earthquake, a really mild one.  You wonder who else can feel it.  Or does that mean it's really bad somewhere else?  But then, it keeps going and you wonder if you're hypersensitive and just dreaming!    I didn't have internet access to confirm.  Apparently, it was an earthquake.   Just so you know, I'm safe and sound.

Also, I found this site and added my input.   Malang is barely on this map (all the way on the right).  It's just nice to know I'm not going insane from being homesick. C;  Can you imagine being so homesick that you hallucinate earthquakes?!  I'm glad I'm not there. C;

Leela!
It's good to know that you are safe! I heard about the earthquake on the news as I was getting one my car windows fixed (my car got broken into last night!).
I heard it was a 7.6? No tsunami warnings issued.
However, I'm sure there were many tsunamis of trepidation in people's hearts.
I'm praying for the Indonesians, you and others that are serving.
You are missed!
In unity! Noemi~
