We just experienced an earthquake this afternoon. It was a 6 magnitude earthquake. At first, I thought I was just dizzy but then I notice that the water on the basin were moving and the kitchen utensils were creating sounds, then I realized there is an earthquake happening. I feel frightened but I stayed calm. It lasted for 30 seconds and it is indeed frightening. I can say that compare to other countries we are still lucky because no reports had been made like what happened to Chile.

How about you? Have you experienced an earthquake? What did you do that time?

Well, are you all safe? myLot user newuserptc mentioned about this earthquake! Oh, it must have been really frightening during the earthquake - good thing that you did not panic and you stayed calm! Well, take cover under a table or something like that! Well, we had an earthquake before 6 years of magnitude 3.7 - nothing to fear - a mild tremor. We could faintly feel it!

I have been in one earth quake as they are very rare here in uk,

and to be honest I loved it he he he but I think I am a bit strange in that way as I want to experience everything in this life.

I am thinking of going storm hunting next year in the states looking for twisters as I would love to experience everything nature has to offer.

hi benny,


Oh, I think you are an adventurous person. Well, I think what you think is very dangerous. I hope you will be safe.

thanks but anything you do in life is dangerous like crossing the road he he he

plus once your dead you can't experience anything so experience the thrill of life that's my motto

I experienced an earthquake when I was in Indonesia. Me and my friends was eating in the food court at one mall, and it was on 6th floor. Suddenly the building start shaking, so did the table and everything on the table is moving around. When everybody start screaming earthquake, we ran as fast as we can, didn't want to take a chance getting trap if the mall start falling down.
We are so busy running, we even forget to pay for the food.!

Jakarta back like in 1996/97...It's not hard enough to cause damages but enough to make people scatter and running out from the mall.

Yes we had experienced earthquake many times ,fortunately it was not never the disastrous one ever. What we did was left everything and came out of our home.Although the magnitude was 6.8 . Our friends and family members from different places started calling about our welfare.It was quite frightening also.I noticed that ceiling fan started moving on its own . Once we were sleeping and we were woken up and felt that the bed was moving.Fortunately we were all safe but it was quite frightening.
