So, I was sitting in front of the computer doing some study of my own. I was just finished from a call from the bank representative who never forgets to remind me for any loan requirements. I was just going to type something on the keyboard, and suddenly the chair trembled. For a moment I was unsure, whether my head spinned. To confirm it, I switched on the TV to the local news channel, but they weren't saying anything which I was suspecting. I shrugged off and resumed my work,though my suspicion didn't settle. A few moments later, I was informed from my brother that a mild earthquake happened at my place, which he came to know somewhere online! I am still waiting for the local news media telling about it on the TV.

Thursday´s quake here was big enough to be reported. No damages happened though. But usually small quakes are just considered here conversation pieces where people ask each other if they have felt it.

The earthquake is everywhere, so far this year I have not felt it again. But stay alert with information that says a megathrust earthquake can happen at any time.
