Earthquake

"When the earthquake happened, we escaped from the apartment!"

"Mummy, I saw the door open and close on it's own, then Ah Mah rescued me!"

This is Shanna's description of what happened, when the tremors from the earthquake in Sumatera were felt here in Penang on Wednesday.

Our babysitter had to carry our 2 babies Shanna & Ian down 11 floors of stairs, twice. I don't wonder that her knees were sore the next day. The vibrations were strong enough to cause the door in the apartment to swing open & close.

Tim and I also felt the tremors, and I halted my expressing of milk, stuck the milk into the refridgerator and went down 9 flight of stairs. We saw funny water patterns in the swimming pool, not the normal ripples. The 2nd tremors were not felt as we were in the car heading to pick the kids up.

Thank God for protection.
