Between Hilary and an earthquake, there is second life!

When it is stormy and it pours outside because you are going to be hit by an unplanned tropical storm, what do you do? Mix a small 5.1 earthquake into the mix and you have no other choice but to just log into second life.

It has been an interesting weekend for sure in the real world, no wonder people want to come here to escape. "The rain was pouring down, making the gloomy night even darker and the earth shook from below and all I could do is run to get out of this rain." It reminds me of a poem by Emily Dickinson.

A Tempest
An awful tempest mashed the air,
The clouds were gaunt and few;
A black, as of a spectre's cloak,
Hid heaven and earth from view.

The creatures chuckled on the roofs
And whistled in the air,
And shook their fists and gnashed their teeth,
And swung their frenzied hair.

The morning lit, the birds arose;
The monster's faded eyes
Turned slowly to his native coast,
And peace was Paradise!

The good thing was second life was not affected by the storm at all and it was a great place to escape from Hilary and the earthquake.
