Earthquake in Oklahoma!

We were fast asleep this past Friday night (early Sat actually) when we were abruptly disturbed by a shaking house! Bobby pretty much leaped out of bed - ready to go! Not exactly sure where, but he was ready. I, on the other hand, just told him that it was an earthquake and continued to snuggle under the covers. A few seconds later, the shaking subsided. The next day, we found out that the earthquake was a 4.7 on the Richter scale.
On Saturday night, just as we were going to go to bed, the house started rumbling again! By now, Bobby figured out that it was another earthquake and didn't panic as much as he did the day before. Although, a few seconds later, the vibrations started getting stronger! I propped myself up in bed (and actually panicked a little too!) and told Bobby to go get Graham. Well, Bobby stood ready in the hallway in case the roof did come down. A few more seconds later, it was all over. We found out the next day that this one was a 5.6 on the Richter scale! That's the strongest earthquake recorded in Oklahoma!
Well, as we finally went to bed that night, I asked Bobby where we were going to move to next!
