Earthquake

While I was working, I experienced a minor earthquake. Initially, I thought I was just feeling dizzy, but my chair shook, and the two dogs felt it, too. They were sleeping and suddenly woke up, looking at me as if they wanted to communicate that something was happening. Fortunately, it didn't last long. The scariest earthquake I have ever experienced was two years ago. I was alone, and the entire building shook for about 40 seconds. My legs trembled from the fear of that experience. I hope I never have to go through something like that again.

@freelancermariagrace I would think they would be quite frightful to go through!

It only lasted for a few seconds. I checked the news right away, but there were no updates yet. I will check again tomorrow morning to know the intensity.

I am glad you are okay. Stay safe and always pray. God bless. The more scariest earthquake I experienced was in the 9Os.

Yes, I am safe. Thank you, my friend. God bless you, too. I remember the earthquake in the 90s. I was very young at that time, so I can barely recall the details, but it was scary.

We have very few earthquakes here but they are certainly very scary. I hope you don't get any more.

Once again, I experienced an earthquake this morning around 6 AM. It was stronger than before. I was sleeping, and my bed shook.

pets always sense when something's happening. we experienced three earthquakes with my cat and he was "trying to warn us" each time. i experienced "strongest" earthquake 4 years ago (i think). i was eating with my friend and we were on the 14th floor of the building. everything was shaking, but we started laughing because it took us some time to understand what's going on. i guess it's easier when you experience scary things with someone else

Yes, pets can sense when something unusual is happening. I'm glad to have their company during those times. Even though they are just pets, they make me feel less alone. Oh no, staying in a high-rise building can be scary during an earthquake. I once lived on the 12th floor and experienced a strong earthquake while I was alone. It really made my knee tremble. Hehe
