Earthquake

Today around 4:30 am D woke me up and said that there was an earthquake and that we had to get out of the house! I thought it could have been a heavier than normal goods train passing by. D was quite disturbed and wanted to take C and go outside. She also told me that there were people out in the streets. I checked. None. So, I promptly went back to sleep. C didnt care at all!
Later we learnt that it was a 5.2 earthquake.
Around 10:15 am we had another tremor. I called to check D and C but they didnt pick up the phone. Daph's mom called me from India to check, because D didn't not respond for some time. I thought she ran out of the house and would not return till all the tremors subsided, and I called again. D didnt go out but had kept the door open, so that she can jump out if the tremors started again! When she tried to run out last time, C ran back into the house, and D had to chase her to get her. Later C said that she went inside the house to get her 'lipstick'! (lip balm actually - C does not know it yet!)
