I hadn't experienced it before until I had the trip in Tokyo. It was a late night and I felt very strange. Later I realized it was an earthquake but it was not very serious. Hard to believe I could stay calm at that time. Perhaps I was really tired and I couldn't do much things. So I let it be.
Last night I learned that there was a big earthquake happened in Sichuan from my country. So far 12 people died. I hope there will be no more deaths or wounds.

@Sreekala I can't imagine having to live some where where there are earthquakes on a regular basis! God bless Japan and other places where they have earthquakes!

@Butchcass4 Yes, all the time. I was here for the 9.0 in 2011 so small ones are not so scary any more!

just awhile ago I felt a little shaking in our announcer's booth, then I saw a post in facebook that there was really an earthquake happened in our place but not that strong because its just around 3.9 magnitude.

@marguicha Perhaps the houses are not very tall and the population is not so many in Chile, so the wounds will be less in your country. Here due to the big population and poor buildings in small places, the wounds will be much more.

@JohnRoberts I can't imagine going through an earthquake! You must have been frightened! Why don't you move? If you don't mind me asking. I wouldn't live anywhere where there are earthquakes or other natural disasters, no way. I'm a chicken!

I live in Jerusalem and when I was learning computer graphics the course was in a bomb shelter and one day while we were in the middle of the lesson things started to shake and I think move. We were experiencing an earthquake. After it stopped we went outside. All I could think of was my cat at home alone and I was worried about her. When I got home she was fine and everything was in its place. It was an experience for sure.
