One hour before,a strong earthquake was coming suddenly when we working on the 19th floor.The tall building begun shaking come and go.All of us felt violent megrim and my chairly shaked sharply.I didn't realize what is happening till one of my colleagues shoutly despairly:it is earthquake,escape quikly!
We run out into the stairs and found people have already been out from their offices and begun to go downstair.I was thinking nothing but running like the hell.
The shake slowed down gradually when we arrived at the ground.We felt deep panic standing on the groud.
5 minutes later, the earthquake was gone but we received a notice from our national Earthquake Bureau saying another earthquake with intensity of 2-6 will come between 10 pm to 12 pm.
It was reported that the most disater-stricken city has experenced nearly 7.6 intensity earthquake at that moment.
Oh,my god, I am frighten to death! I have to submit the will of heaven.

I understand what you feel. I remember last year when I was in a public cab on my way to our office, I saw a lot of people running away from their building and some were giggling and laughing, I didn't know that the earth was shaking even the driver in the cab was confuse like me what happen to them. When I arrived in the school, I saw all our students in the ground and protecting their head with their book, and every personnel were also standing outside the building, I walk like nothing happens and one of my colleague gave me a signal that there was a strong earthquake, i do know why i didn't even notice it, maybe because the cab was moving! I do know! LOL!

I guess why you did not notice it was earthquaking because the intensity was low enough that it is not harmful to human beings.
As a matter of fact,it is reported that uncountable families and people have been buried during this disater.The worst city is in south, we are in north,but we feel the earthquake in our side is so strong,so you can imagine how desperate those people met at that moment.A unprecedented disater happened without any hints.
We learnt there are nearly 10 province have suffering the earthquake upon different intensity.
I still remember the rough time we running down the building panicky.
