I Felt the Earth Move

No we are not talking about great sex here...we are talking EARTHQUAKE! Yes, we felt the earth move up here on the Rio Dulce. We are fine and so is the marina. Marco, Mirna, and Kathy had it the worst as they were on land. The beds were dancing and stuff was trying to jump off the selves in the store. The pool had waves big enough to empty a good foot and a half of water. We were luck no structural damage.

We talked to our friends at Hotel Kangaroo and they live on the third floor.  Their king sized bed was moving and the house was swaying and the stairs moved 4 inches.  Lots of little houses are down or leaning at crazy angles.

Placencia had quite a bit of damage as well.  The photos of Honduras are scary.  Fortunately it appears that there was not a great loss of life.

Once again we are lucky and safe.
