Yesterday our gas ran out here at the house!
Most of the homes here use gas for the stove, for the hot water heater, for the dryer, etc. Well, we knew when we moved in that the tank that was connected to those appliances was about half full. I guess they last quite a long time, because we used that half filled tank for one month and one week. And we got pretty decent notice that the tank had gone dry - we weren't in the middle of a shower or cooking or anything like that. What brought it to our attention was I went to get the clothes out of the dryer and they weren't hot at all. And they were still damp after about 45 minutes! So we knew - the gas tank is empty! Guillermo went outside, unhooked the empty tank and hooked up the full tank and we should be ok now until we leave in about 3 weeks!!!
Also, yesterday we felt the house here rumble a little bit during the evening and we figure that must have been some little tremor of the earthquake kind. It's the second time I have felt that here, and Guillermo noticed the one yesterday, too. It felt like how I remember the house shake a little when a big bus or truck would pass on the street by the house.
