I Felt The Tremors of Earthquake!  |
|
If you guys do not know about the earthquake, here is the url:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/indonesia/6248217/Up-to-1000-killed-and-more-trapped-by-earthquake-in-Indonesias-Sumatra.html
I was sitting on the chair doing work, on the PC, while lotting too. And then I felt the chair vibrating; a tiny tremor. It was kind of scary, because I felt slightly dizzy. Just a slight. This happened around 10 ish in the morning, Sg time.
I thought must be the morning buzz for me again; I tend to imagine things when I'm too tired and sleepy. But no, another person also felt it and thought I had thrown something at her. I said of course not, I was rooted doing my work. My heart went out to all families of victims of the tragedy in West Sumatra.
Have you guys ever felt tremors? Do share your encounters/experiences. Thanks a lot. Do take care all.

1. book1962 (14694) | 3 months ago | hi zed, yes I had this experience twice. When I was in California, I just came at the right time to experience an "aftershock" of an Earthquake, I was sitting on the bed and it started shaking. Fortunately nothing else happened. Relatively shortly after that we even had a small earthquake in Germany. Thats very unusual and it happened at nighttime. My bed shook a bit and I was relatively relaxed and didnt panic as I knew what it was and that it was only a slight one

zed_k4 (4761) | 3 months ago | Hi book, it's nice to see you around. The aftershock was only close to a minute. I think that's because I have the rarest chance of experiencing this thing. Your bed shook? That's quite a feat, if it happened to me. My mind would wander definitely. Thanks for your response. Hopefully all aftershocks are slight ones only..

|
msfrancisco9369 (2136) | 3 months ago | aftershocks are sometimes more intense than the quake... thanks god your safe and you're able to managed the situation--calmly. in times like this being relax and calm will really help.

book1962 (14694) | 3 months ago | hi msfrancisco didnt know that aftershocks can be more intense than the Earthquake itself. My hosts in California said, ohh its only an aftershock.... as if it was nothing to even mention.

I lived in Los Angeles until December 2005, and they are quite common there.
Everybody OK where you are?

zed_k4 (4761) | 3 months ago | I've read up till the 6th paragraph of your article. Wow! Your experiences were more scarier. Thanks for sharing the link, I need it. Must be my first batch of tremors, which I'm pretty new. Everyone's fine here, thanks dawn. I hope the chair won't vibrate again, hmmmm..
| |
|
|
zed_k4 (4761) | 3 months ago | I'm gonna continue reading.. You've got some coming there..

3. Hatley (21559) | 3 months ago | hi zed hatley here oh yes I have been in Ca US for years and have felt a lot of tremors but was fortunate to have them only three s and fours. one five scared the bejabbers out of me, but we have been so lucky. my heart and prayers go out to the families of the victims in West Sumatra. I have just a small taste of how frightening that must have been. i have had books topple and things fall down but no major damage. I live far enough away from LA that I didnt feel anything much with the Northridge quake a few years back.

|
zed_k4 (4761) | 3 months ago | Hi Hatley. Same for me, even though it was just for a few seconds, I got scared for a bit, ha. Guess I'm not so macho after all, lol. Thanks for sharing your experience with me here. I didn't know that there can be lots of tremors in Cali..

4. slickcut (6010) | 3 months ago | No i have never felt one but i think i would be very scared if i did....I know i feel so sorry for the people that live in area's where there are earthquakes....I cannot even imagine the fear they feel...
| |
| |
|
|
zed_k4 (4761) | 3 months ago | And to imagine that there were some trapped inside. Earthquakes are natural disasters that I would never, ever wanna experience. Thanks for your answer, slick..

5. drannhh (7556) | 3 months ago | Oh, that is devastating.
We have a lot of earthquakes where I live, but the buildings withstand them better here than in some places, I guess because they are expected. The biggest quake I have ever been in was 1989 and it was 6.9. My husband had just gotten safely past the below stretch of freeway when this happened:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cypress_structure.jpeg
I think there must have a little one hereabouts recently during the night while I was asleep because when I looked in the cupboard today all the cans I had neatly stacked one on another were every which way. The last quake I was home and awake for at this location was a couple months ago. I usually make a report to the "Did you feel it" section here when that happens:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/

|
zed_k4 (4761) | 3 months ago | Thanks for the url; I'm opening them on other tabs. 1989, and measuring 6.9? Whoa!! That's a real strong one there, I must say. Luckily you and your husband was safe. Thanks for sharing these links, drannhh. There's nothing we can do but to pray and keep ourselves as securely safe as possible.
| |
|
|
zed_k4 (4761) | 3 months ago | were* safe, sorry...typo.
The first picture looked very devastating. That was a large dent there. The usgs site is a very good analysis and people would know what to expect.

zed_k4 (4761) | 3 months ago | Thanks, tamara. I'm all safe now; it was a real wonder of that few seconds moment, but so far, Singapore has only felt tremors and I'm thankful nothing more worst has happened. I'm so sad with what was happening in terms of the flood too. How they must have felt; could be pretty bad. I hope everything turns out fine eventually and these natural disasters would be over quick.

7. Polly1 (8481) | 3 months ago | Yes I have felt a very small earthquake before, I do not want to ever feel a big one. Its scary to feel the ground shake underneath you.
| |
| |
|
|
|
zed_k4 (4761) | 3 months ago | It is indeed scary because when things vibrate and shook, our thoughts and feelings are like trying to digest what is really happening..

9. msfrancisco9369 (2136) | 3 months ago | hi zed,
yes, i've experienced tremors several times. we had fair share of earthquakes in our country and eversince i was a kid a already experience tremors from eartquakes. my parents taught me a prayer that i need to say everytime i experience this and this really calms me down. very scary and you will really dizzy because of the movement of the area where you are sitting, standing, lying down or whatver position you are in.
| |
| |
|
|
zed_k4 (4761) | 3 months ago | Several times? If it were me, I would chant different prayers too, I can totally relate to what you felt there, but you have had the experience several times some-more; how you must have felt. Yes, there tends to be a certain kind of dizziness for sure. Must stay in one position until the tremors stop. Thanks for taking the time to respond, msfrancisco.

|
msfrancisco9369 (2136) | 3 months ago | yes friend several times and it was really traumatic for me especially the one that happened in 1990 where big hotels, buildings, school in the northern part of the philippines were destroyed and greatly affected.
| |
|
|
zed_k4 (4761) | 3 months ago | Have to be careful wherever we are. Do take care yeah... I will try my best too.. Thanks again.
| |
|
|
msfrancisco9369 (2136) | 3 months ago | at all times we always have to be careful and never ever forget to ask for the almighty's diving intervention. all these trails will pass but let us focus on the real message why we are experiencing all these...!

zed_k4 (4761) | 3 months ago | When the Tsunami hit Indonesia and other parts of the world, I was so devastated and cried inside. Cried for the victims; it was like a massive tidal wave coming and then gone just like that; with all the damages done. I pray that Tsunami won't come again. My friends have been bugging me to go to Bali, but I will fore-go any forms of traveling for now and be with my family. Thanks for your time, wit..

|
|
msfrancisco9369 (2136) | 3 months ago | i join you in this crusade. i am with you in prayers that this event will not happen again. and i also pray for those victims that for strength to face this very traumatic experience. god bless always!
