Earthquake Warning!

Hello all,

The city i live in now, Vancouver B.C Canada, is on the edge of a fault line. Regardless of the knowledge we have developed the coast line extensively and even situated houses under steep slops, smart eh! Well it's been known for a while that there is continuous tension building up on under us as the Juan De Fuca plate is subducting under the north American plate. These two plates have been stuck for a while and, therefore, cause tension to build until one day.... snap.

For the past few weeks we've been living under an earthquake warning. Beeing that i'm in a geography class in college I've been learning about this for a while. I've seen pictures.

Now when ever one hears of a dissature happening, i assume, they're usually not thinking, "this might happen to me." Being young and 'immortal' i was thinking that as well, even though i live in Vancouver. It occurred to me this morning that i should take this opportunity to really pay extra attention to me actions during the day. Who knows if a mitzvah i do now can save me later, if a when this this goes off? So i'm gonna try to daven a lil' harder and do mitzvout more carefully. I wanted to share this thought with you. Maybe it will help to give you the motivation you need to overcome one mitzva or avodah to HaShem? i hope it will, and i hope it does for me.
Be well!

yah- but it's very difficult to live every day like that. when there is a speacial situation like an earthquake warning it's easier to have that mind set.
