my city is hit by earth quake

Really, when did it happen? I'm sorry. I really understand, how people panic, because I too have experienced. Is there a victim because of this earthquake?

I sympathize with you. I live in California and have felt a 6. quake. The initial quake is scary but what always makes me nervous is waiting for the aftershocks. Also one never knows if the first was a foreshock and is a bigger one coming. Still I rather take my chances with earthquakes than hurricanes or tornados...

hi adhyz82 I am also in earthquake country California. 6 points pretty scary jolt wow but I am glad the tsunami did not come. I had not realized Indonesia is also earthquake country. Iam sorry that your government is'slow to respond. Hope you and your loved ones are all safe now. For me its the lengtth of the shaking that gets me. if it stops in a few seconds I am okay but when it just seems to go on and on like a minute or two I get really scared.I am so glad that you were not hit be those frightenin tsunjami as they move so fast from what I have heard. Good to know you are now okay.

I've been in bigger quakes than that, and they are really scary. I'm glad there was no tsunami...

I am always trying to keep track on international news. This helps me to be aware and be prepared for the calamity. I live in Philippines and is one of the countries always in danger in terms of earthquake and tsunami. Let's PRAY for our safe and salvation.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about the quake. I hope everyone in Indonesia are okay. Not to fear-monger, but I think that you should probably give this a quick watch. I found it on another site's thread and have been feeling the same way recently, that something bigger is on its way. Please be careful and take any precautions that you can. http://youtu.be/--lPE9fSNOo

My goodness that would have been scary! I live in Australia and fortunately where we are located there are not often earthquakes but that is not to say it will never happen of course, I sympathize with you because when I lived with my parents in Italy many years ago we used to experience strong tremors on a regular basis and, because we lived on the fifth floor we had to run down those stairs every time. I was only a kid but I do recall feeling very scared! I am very thankful there has not been a tsunami where you are. I will keep you in my prayers.

Hi adhyz!. not hearing news lately and quite busy to do any thing else beside to get my job done. I hope you and your family were safe but from your post I know you were OK. I think thats was terrified earth quake at thats scale. I never had big earth quake just a small one when Sukabumi was hit by it and we can feel it here. I think we will dealing so many earth quake because earth bellow our country keep moving to get it stability and I hope we will able to dealing it. I think Government as always as slow as snail when dealing their people safety.

Oh wow my friend I am sorry to hear of this experience. I was away out of town for five days and just now am catching up with emailed discussions. I see that you and your family are okay and I do hope many others are well also. I am glad to hear it was not Tsunami, although any earth quake is frightening. Take care and be well.

sory to hear that. but i don't watch it on tv.

I'm so glad that you are safe. Natural tragedies have happened quite often recently,do be careful.And I wish there wouldn't be any earthquakes and tsunamis.Good luck!

The quake is now common. Earthquakes occur everywhere. We must always be vigilant, and a lot of praying. Hopefully, we are always given a safety.

Hi adhyz, Haven't been in MyLot lately, and it's a shock to hear what have hit you. I wonder I haven't seen it in the news at that time, too. It's been almost a month since the earthquake, hope everything's alright and you and maybe your family/neighborhood also don't have some sort of trauma or any such a thing.

hi adhy, i feel sorry for that I'm from Indonesia too but in central of java i hope our country will be just good and the government will be better and better and I'm so glad too there is no tsunami again in Idondonesia

I do not think there is always a tsunami, but I am very sorry that there was a strong earthquake that scared you. Other than giving out warnings and preventing looting, what can a government really do about a natural disaster? I suppose it can set up emergency shelters.

The weather seems really crazy recently and it is scary. We are being flooded by the rains that we are having and so many people are in fear of what will happen to their homes. Yesterday, the pastor of our church spoke about how many more earthquakes there have been this year versus how many we have had in past years. I am hoping the you do not have a tsunami and I hope that the weather pattern settles down all over the world.

I am glad to know that your city is safe but please continue to be alert. I am scared of earthquakes (who isn't?) and now tsunami scare is everywhere. I saw videos of tsunamis and it really is very unforgiving, people and infrastructures are helpless and look like toys when swept away. Be safe.

I was away today so I have not seen the news yet. But I understand and fear earthquakes and tsunamis, our country being one of the countries most hit by them. I am glad there was no tsunami. It seems that the ocean waves arre far worse than the trembling of the earth. Take care!

I feel sorry for you my friend.I know how you feel at that time and it's really frightening, considering if there still a bigger one coming.I guess you can't blame anyone if ever they are put in same situation.Maybe you can't move or you run because you are in panic but the best thing to do is stay calm and remain in control of yourself so you can think positively in a way you can protect yourself just in case of any possibilities like what you said tsunami.

Humans can be very silly at times! I have felt many small shocks and somehow wish for a big one. It is as if I am missing out on something - lacking experience or something like that. Of course, when a big one comes, as eventually it must, I wont be happy about it. Isn't this the kind of foolishness that government employees are facing too?
