Terremoto means earthquake in Spanish

April is just full of memory makers around here.

Two days ago we remembered the 10th anniversary of a tornado that devastated Nashville, including our former house and neighborhood of East Nashville. And yesterday was our 15th wedding anniversary. (Cheers to us!)

This morning we woke up in the darkness before dawn wondering why the cat was jumping on the bed, why the 4-year-old was upstairs jumping on her bed, and whether some espiritu had swooshed through our house rattling doors and windows.

But, the cat was asleep in the mudroom, the kid was asleep in her bed and there was no espiritu -- at least that I saw.

Earthquake. Terremoto. In Tennessee!

From The Tennessean

5:20 a.m. Friday

A 5.4-magnitude earthquake was reported 41 miles northwest of Evansville, Ind., at 4:36 a.m. TEMA spokesman Jeremy Heidt said that the Middle Tennessee area felt it but no damage is expected here in the Midstate.
Heidt said residents need to look for damage and make sure nothing has fallen.
Several people who have contacted The Tennessean, from Nashville, Franklin, Cheatham County and Clarksville, have said that they were awakened by their houses shaking, glass rattling or a sudden jarring.

This really isn't the kind of trembleque I like.
You know what I mean?
