Thunderstorms and Earthquakes

A couple of nights ago we had a very large thunderstorm. I was in bed watching a recording of Toddlers and Tiaras. Now, there's a show that will make you say, "huh?" I'll talk about that another time.

Anyway, I heard small hail and the electricity went off a couple of times. Finally, just before 11 p.m. I turned off the TV and snuggled in for a long, restful sleep. Shortly after I got settled, my bed rocked, or at least I thought it did. I couldn't figure out what happened and rolled around for a couple of seconds trying to get it to do it again. When nothing happened, I thought I must have been dreaming and forgot about it.

The next morning when I got up, Geneo asked me if I felt the earthquake last night. Wow! Was that what it was? Yes! I did feel it. He saw on the internet that we had a 4.3 earthquake about 11 the night before. It was centered in Conway, AR and felt all the way to Tulsa. Hallelujah!! I'm not going crazy. Okay. I won't go that far, but at least I know I really did feel something.

We were talking to a man yesterday about it. He said they have been doing a lot of drilling around Conway for natural gas. Maybe that had something to do with the earthquake. Who knows?  All I know is it's pretty interesting to experience a huge thunderstorm and an earthquake in one night. The good news is, as far as I know, there was no damage from either one.

Reminds me of a scripture: "Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will never be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the LORD, who has compassion on you." Isaiah 54:10

That is so good to know. God is Great!
