Lucy's First Earthquake

Well, today Lucy is 5 months old and she got to expereince her first earthquake. Not that she noticed. But the dog did!! She ran behind the recliner and would not come out! It seemed to take forever to get her out where I could leash her. Then we went outside (after the shaking) and checked with all the neighbors. No major damage, just lots of stuff falling.
Missing from the picture below are the man/woman China dolls, they fell completely off the top. The candles are perched precariously against the wall, about to fall behind the unit. All the Wii games fell, pictures too, and the speakers. The massive bookshelf pulled away from the wall and is leaning over too far for my liking. It's currently held up by a chair and the high chair.
Four of the six DVD holders came out of the wall. Good thing they had the earthquake braces on or they would have fallen on my head!

The water heater pipe and brace pulled forward.
No major damage to report. Just lots of little things. All the lotions and perfumes in the bathroom fell. Most everything that was tall in the bathroom cabinet fell when I opened the doors (not like the small creams and nail polishes). My computer monitor had leaned all the way forward, the printer moved. The bathroom drawers and the drawers on Lucy's wardrobe all opened a few inches.
We are OK, scared but ok.
