Morning mylot, its Monday here 11: 04 AM, and i still shocked with the recent earthquake that happens here. Its not good begin your day with an earthquake but its happens twice in a day, the first ones at 05:34 AM and the last one at 10:29 AM. And the feeling still the same, i'm scare.
Talking about earthquakes, i knew that today was not the first earthquakes that i experience. I still remember at 2007, the earthquake around magnitude 6.9, that time i'm so scare to death because the earthquake shaked my house so hard. Thank God, my family and i still safe till right now.
How about you guys? Do you have the same experience? Have a great day fellas

I'm glad you and your family are all okay. I don't know what I'd do if I experienced an earthquake. I'd be scared, too.
I've been through tornadoes but never an earthquake.

Thank God, we are okay here, but only me in this house who felt that eartquake. My baby girl still playing without scare and my wife and mom they still busy with their things. After the earthquake happens, i looked into the news about it and it was reported that the earthquake happens, just to make sure that it was real.
Tornadoes? I never experience that, but i have been through earthquakes a lot, maybe more than 10 times. And still scare untill right now.

@MrDenata Tornadoes are common where I live.
But I'm glad your daughter didn't realize anything was happening. I'd rather you be scared than her being scared.

Be safe, there could still be aftershocks. I've experienced that very scary earthquake that devastated an area in my country. We felt the very strong tremors and I was scared I couldn't move. I was standing beside. my table, I was in the office that. time.

@MrDenata I didn't know what to do. I was looking at the. blinds and it was swaying fast. I was looking at my officemate by the glassdoor because she just went out of the bathroom and have yet to return to her desk when the tremor began. That was so scary.

I don't have much earthquake experience. I experienced it when I travelled to Japan. The hotel moved strong but glad it was over soon. At first I didn't know why I got a strange feeling, later I realized it was an earthquake.
That's great your family and you stay safe. I hope the earthquake won't give you big damage.

I am glad to know that you and your family are safe. These earthquakes are not good. Here in our country, we have witnessed many such earthquakes which took the lives of several people here. I remember once I was watching TV when the earthquake came and we all came out of our houses and were scared to go inside as we knew they come in series but it didn't come and after sometimes we went inside.

We have earthquakes a lot in Tokyo, and sometimes they shake hard. I'm not so scared as I used to be because I have prepared so things don't fall on me if I am in the house, and I kind of understand the science, so I'm more interested than scared.

Good to know that you and your family are safe. Hong Kong is not in the earthquake zone. So we don't have earthquakes. But sometimes we felt a slight shake if nearby countries have earthquake.
