On Friday, an earthquake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale was experienced/hit our town around 6 p.m. I'm not sure of the terminology when it comes to earthquakes; I'm from North Carolina! This was the strongest earthquake we have felt since coming to Serbia. We were all at home, and there was no damage. The power was out for exactly two hours. After getting over their fright, the kids loved playing with the flashlights. Samantha kept saying, "Birthday, Mommy!" because of all the candles and wanted to blow them out. I thought ping-pong night might be in jeopardy; the guys usually come over around 8 p.m. But at exactly 7:59 p.m., the lights came on and around 15 guys arrived ready to play.
