Just Go Back to Sleep!
Woman in the Middle | July 25, 2015Just before 6 a.m. this morning we had an earthquake. This was my first noticeable earthquake since I became active on Facebook. My, Facebook does change how people react to a little shaker!
No more duck and cover for folks in So Cal! Instead, they all seemed to grab their smart phones and start posting about the earthquake. I do have to say, I found out pretty quickly (once I got out of bed 2 hours later, just sayin’) that our little trembler was a 4.3, located in a city just to the north of us. While I admit it did shake us around for a short second, otherwise it was no big deal, and certainly not something I was going to disturb my sleep over.
But Facebook exploded with “EARTHQUAKE!” I think Facebook has turned previously earthquake hardened Californians into wimps! Before Facebook, people would have gone back to sleep and then mentioned to one or two people later in the day, “Did you feel the earthquake?” Now, everyone posts immediately about the event like it was major news.
FYI, here in So Cal, an earthquake is not major news until it hits 6.0. Just go back to sleep everyone, no apocalypse today…..
