Shake Rattle and Roll

So things have been a little on the weird side of things lately.  Oklahoma has been experiencing earthquakes that are big enough to be felt by all.  I was just going to refer to the one we had on Saturday and realized I didn't have a way to refer to it other than 5.6.  I am going to name the one on Saturday Frankie Dee, why not.  If we continue to have them as often as we are we will need some kind of reference.  So Frankie shook Denis from his sleep sometime after 11:00 not sure on the exact time because I was also asleep.  Denis woke me up only for me to hear what sounded like a train outside our window.  Frankie was shaking the house like you would not believe,  the doors were shaking and that is all I can tell you because I just laid in bed waiting for it to pass.  It was all kind of surreal.  Even after it was over I was still wondering what exactly happened. Frankie was trying hard to wake up the kids but he did not succeed.  Frankie was felt in several states that I know of so he definitely made his presence known.  I know that Frankie can not come close to what others have experienced in the past because Frankie did not cause the damage that others before him have.  But Frankie was a big deal to a lot of people here in Oklahoma because most of us have never experience an earthquake before making this scary for most of the first timers here in Oklahoma.  Frankie was my first and I will always remember him.  He for sure left an impression on me.  Sure he came and went like it was no big deal and I am thankful for that.  I have heard several people say that Oklahomans would rather experience a tornado than experience an earthquake.  I have to say they both are something I prefer not to have happen.  They both can not be controlled.  You can not change the course of a tornado and you can not change how hard an earthquake is going to hit.  They both are unpredictable and I don't want to have anything to do with either.  My girl experienced her first earthquake last night and she come barging into our room with this huge smile on her face.  She was full of excitement that she finally felt an earthquake.  It was cool for her.  She did not meet Frankie but she got to meet Big Joe Turner and Joe didn't hit as hard as Frankie but he was still felt by a lot of people.   Who knows if we are going to have more anytime soon, but I am not going to be so surprised by it now.  With three earthquakes under my belt I am feeling like an old pro now.  No not really.  Oklahomans are totally trained and know exactly what to do in the face of a tornado.  But if one of those big earthquakes come our way the only training I have is what I have seen in the movies and that is hold on to the door frame and we know how the movies are, they always leave out the boring stuff so i am sure there is more to know.  So if a big one comes this is what I know.  We should be good here if another comes our way.
