The Great ShakeOut Happened!

Did you practice for the "big one" at 10:15 this morning?  In Utah we had a statewide earthquake drill and most schools, businesses, and homes participated.  At my home all my children are in school, except for my oldest, who only has one class at the high school.  So she got nominated to be my earthquake drill model :)

So if the big one happens.....remember to DROP....COVER...& HOLD ON to the closest big piece of furniture.  Practicing the drills now will hopefully become second nature when you need it in an emergency!!
