earthquake

A 4.2 earthquake woke me up early this morning. It was centered in Southeast Missouri but it still rumbled the house and scared me. Hubby, who is a very sound sleeper and can sleep through an earthquake, did. They say to expect aftershocks.
Besides that, because we are a river town, we are expected to flood in the days and weeks ahead. We are a hilly little city; our house is at the bottom of one hill  but at the top of an even larger hill. Even so, it might wipe out the KATY, my favorite bike trail. I don't want that to happen.
I managed to tear myself away from the Casey Anthony murder trial and dodge the cicadas to walk 5.17 miles both today and yesterday. It is typical Missouri weather, steamy hot!
