Check the Fan Pulls

Is it shaking or is it me?  Another dizzy spell spawning from the depths of my vertigo?

Or is this more?

The room spins, but this time things are falling (look up, look up, see the fan pulls shaking)

The earth rocks

This time it's not me, I'm dizzy but this time for different reasons

This is an adaptation of a facebook feed from my cousin in Japan over the past couple of days / before the 8.9 hit.  She is all right but they are out of power for an unknown amount of time.  

Tell a story in 55 words and post the link here with G-man for Flash Friday 55!  Come and play.

  3. I've seen footage this morning of the tsunami sweeping in. I live in Michigan and we've only had one minor quake that I've ever noticed in my 46 years. I can't even imagine being there.
