REally? That was you're first earthquake experience ever?? Ar you sure? Maybe you were not aware when it already happened or maybe you just forgot. Ive experienced a lot of earthquakes in my life. There were some small ones. I even thought that my cat was just playing on the bed thats why it was shaking a bit but when I saw that some things were moving I knew it was an earthquake. the biggest one that I experienced lasted a few minutes and very strong. It was so strong that our whole house seemed to shake in the ground. Our furniture and things were also moving and so we secured some of the things so that they wouldn't fall from the walls and they're places since they might break and hurt somebody and cause more damage. Well, that's my earthquake experiences. It seems that earthquakes are getting more and more frequent nowadays..

Hello Peter. I once had this experience in the nineties. I was surprised to find that the ground surface was slightly split by the light earthquake. My school used to be at the foot of the mountain. I was lucky that it was not very serious though we felt the shake. Anyway I wish you to be careful and alert of the quake.

As a matter of fact yes. It was 4 am about 2 weeks ago. I couldn't sleep. So I turned on the television. A few minutes later my house was shaking, and my couch was moving toward my front door. It was unnerving.
