FYI: there are

no serious earthquakes going on at this time. whew.

And I’m in an “optional” flood zone. Not a place that requires flood insurance, but it’s optional. Nice to know, I guess. Just glad I’m on the second floor. This is rash of catastrophic thinking due to the fact that I had only 5 hours of sleep and CNN is showing weird photos of New Orleans, like boats upside down, etc.
