It is rare for my city has the earthquake since we don't locate in the earthquake zone. However, just now I felt an earthquake and it was quite obvious. Later the news said it was an 3.6 magnitude earthquake. It is a minor earthquake and I don't think it will bring any damages. However, such kind of minor earthquakes happened a few times before. This seems to be a bit active. Especially not long time ago there was a big earthquake in Turkey. I really think the earthquake happens more often.

HK also does not locate in the earthquake zone. I experienced earthquake when I visited Japan years ago. It was scary.

I also experienced the earthquake when I travelled to Japan. It was strong for me but perhaps it is just common in Japan.

In Romania, there was a lot of earth activity, too. There were a few earthquakes in a short period of time, luckily, not too powerful ones.

I haven't heard there was an earthquake in Romania before, perhaps it is minor and it is not a news.

Stay safe, we are located near a faultline here. It is funny you write this, as I am wearing an earthquake T shirt currently. It was one sold after the big quake here in 2011.

@youless No, we had a fairly large one here in 2011 and California is always having them. We aren't prone to major quakes though...except for Calif. that I know of.

I think when big earthquake happens, it is hard to avoid as it happens instantly.

We've already had a few this year. The most recent one was earlier this month and it was reportedly 5.9 magnitude.

The mountains seemed to be in revolt they kept on erupting every moment. Even though I am quite far from the epicenter, sometimes the shaking is really felt and some of the land in my area has also started to sink little by little.

@youless That's only a small part of what you hear, when our communication was cut off all the buildings were razed to the ground. We know that our earth has been around for a very long time and has experienced many changes (which used to be land into oceans).

Yes, the planet seems to be more active. Maybe it doesn't like what were doing to it.

Possibly earthquakes are occurring more often. I hope you stay safe. Touch wood, we haven't had an earthquake here for quite some time.

Usually I dare not to say so as natural disasters can happen anytime anywhere But of course so far it is very safe in Australia

Good that it was not a powerful one. Turkey's earthquake was a disaster. Recently, tremors were felt in North India due to earthquake of 6.6 magnitude having it's epicenter in Pakistan -: Afghanistan region.

6.6 magnitude earthquake is supposed to be big and destroyable.

@youless Yes, it is. I was terrified to hear the news. The next day we got the news of 6 people dying and a dozen badly injured. It was at the epicenter near Pakistan Afghanistan border
