About this page... I just want to put this out there. Initially this page was full of helpful community information; who to contact re: inspections and services, where to find supplies and government updates, etc. Recently its become all about the latest 1.x or 2.x aftershock. I understand that many of us are still on edge and will be for some time to come. I count myself among you! Sudden noises or movements are startling and upsetting. Im doing what I can to try and overcome these feelings and leave this major event behind. Deep breaths, a change of scenery, and not giving these small aftershocks any power over my well-being. I know that I never acknowledged these minor events in the past, and I wont now. To be honest, I havent felt any aftershocks aside from the 3.9 and the 3.? that occurred immediately following the 6.0 earthquake. Im keeping busy and I just must not be paying attention because every time I see a Did you feel that?? post I wonder what Ive missed. Our big one is behind us and the chances of us having another significant earthquake anytime in the near future is slim. These aftershocks are not going to cause any further damage beyond what has already occurred. These small aftershocks are nothing more than the earth settling down and over time they will become further and further apart so we all can relax. Like when the media posts Did you feel it? articles, I dont think posting about every little jolt is beneficial to us. Even though I think Ive done a pretty good job of putting things in perspective, these posts are upsetting to me. Id like to suggest that if you feel a small aftershock you take a moment to confirm that its no more than that and go about your day with a smile knowing that it was just that. :-) If youre still having trouble sleeping, etc, there is help available. Talking things through with someone/others can help a lot! Also, if you come across any community information that could be helpful to us all, please post it here. Im sure many of us are still in need of resources to help put this event behind us. Please dont blast me for sharing my perspective. Im just trying to help us get through this the best way possible. Take care!
