Earthquake

It was BIG. The house jolted and shook, really shook. It went on and on, not helped by me dashing from room to room checking kids. 5.8 on the Japanese scale. Just seeing those numbers makes me worry!! But everyone was fine, and the earth eventually settled back down for a while. Apparently the thriving community of little black jumping spiders we have here in our house is a signal of impending earthquakes. So what do they do after the quake, all run away outside??? Come to think of it, the one that thinks my computer screen is his private playground hasn't appeared today.
