So normally I bitch about how boring of a state Maryland is, this week it seems as if mother nature wanted to prove to me it's not always so boring. In the matter of a week we had an earthquake, the biggest one Maryland has seen, and the East Coast was hit by Hurricane Irene.
Now the earthquake freaked out a lot of people, even though it honestly wasn't a big earthquake, for Marylanders that was a huge deal. However, when the earthquake hit I was in my car and I just thought my car was idling high. Next thing I know my mom is calling and freaking out, cell phones end up not working, but of course Facebook still did. I think I've come to the conclusion that Facebook and survive the end of the world....Anyway, I had to go to the armory and make phone calls for emergency check-ins for the families of deployed soldiers, and I learned calling that many people is actually a lot of work.
And then two days ago we got to face Hurricane Irene, where I live it wasn't bad. Last I heard the death count was up to 25, and there are a lot of people without power, water; there are roads flooded, roads closed, downed trees and power lines. Fortunately, my house still has power, even though none of my family does.
On another non-weather related note, Caiden got to video chat with his daddy last night. He has started this thing where he says that his daddy is the best, so while chatting with Kenny he looked at him and informed him that "Daddy best", he's such a cutie when he wants to be. And then of course he continued to ask for his daddy to come home, my poor baby just misses his daddy. Hopefully daddy will be home sooner rather than later.
