Earthquake!

昨日の夜中、地震があった。ここに引っ越してきてからのはじめての”大きめな”地震だったので、ドンと来るなり私は飛び起きて、「地震だ、地震だ!」と避難モードに入ったのに、主人は、「ふぁ~」と返事ともあくびとも読み取れない音を発するやそのまま寝続け、お兄ちゃんは飛び起きたものの「地震~?」とひと言いってまた横になり、下の子は目を覚ますこともなく。私ひとりだけ、30分くらい警戒モード。朝のニュースによると、サンタモニカ沖マグニチュード3.5で、「寝ていても目を覚ますほどの震度」というレポートだったけれど、うちは危機感が少ないのかね。。。

We had an earthquake in the middle of the night. This was our first one after the move, so I just jumped up on the bed and called, "It's an earthquaaaake!" and shifted myself for the evacuation. My husband, on the other hand, returned a barely audible replay or maybe a yawn it was, and went right back to sleep. My son responded, "Earthquake?" but also went back to sleep. My daughter didn't even wake up. I was on a lonesome watch for 30 minutes and went back to bed. According to the morning news, it was originated in Santa Monica Bay and was of Magnitude 3.5, a size big enough to wake you up in the sleep. Well, they didn't!!
