When I got home, I put a photo album up off the floor and packed a change of clothes. Kit put our dog Godiva in the back of his truck and locked all the windows and doors and we headed to Safeway parking lot to "camp" in the car. Ivy was soooooo excited. Grandma, grandpa, aunty Kim and cousins Colin and Aiden were there. After a meet and greet with the family ivy and I put down the back seat of my suv, got out the sleeping bag, and went to sleep. At around midnight, when the waves weren't hitting as expected, my husband said we were heading home. They actually didn't give an all clear until 4am... But considering the same thing pretty much happened in the Japan Quake tsunami in March 2011, I felt fine going home.
Bummed we had to leave the party but glad we are all ok!
Glad to hear all is well - I would be terrified.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to think that all your belongings could be lost in a few hours... so thankful it hasn't happened "for real" yet!
DeleteHello Rebecca, I'm so glad to hear your family are safe and well. I do understand what you were going through as the same thing happened when I visited my daughter in India. We had to evacuate because of an expected tsunami. It is rather scary, especially after seeing the horrific damage and loss of life in Japan, you just can't be too careful. Take care, Best Wishes Daphne
ReplyDeleteYes, the last time, as we were prepping for the tsunami, we were watching the live footage of what just took place in Japan. Very scary. So glad we're all fine and no harm was done.
DeleteScary stuff!! Glad all is ok :)
