Today a few mins back we felt earthquake and our neighbors also came out from their house. I was resting on my bed with my laptop and the bed was shaken like a boat on the middle of the river. So scary! Its really terrific, May Almighty Allah save us! Ameen!

@Daljinder Sounds terrifying. And of course once again you describe something so friggen well I feel as if I have lived it lol This may be a stupid question.....But can an Earthquake ever be known to come like a tornado or weather in general? Like can they be predicted? I kinda know about rictascales but obviously not enough. Do they pick up an Earthquake or do they just pick it up after?

@VivaLaDani13 It's feeling like suddenly you are on a swing on the move. The very low intensity earthquakes feel like almost the same when you are sitting/ laying on a sofa or a bed or chair and someone starts shaking it. In mid intensity earthquakes, you can feel the shaking more and actually see the things swing side by side that will make you dizzy. The windows and doors are the danger zone to be anywhere near them. So are the elevators. We run out of the house into the open because the very foundation of the house is shaken. So, it is in danger to collapse. Once while my cousins were in their school. One was in his classroom writing the early morning exam and the other one was attending the regular assembly time. The earthquake that came was almost the mid intensity one. The one in the exam room witnessed the large glass windows shake loudly and shatter. All the kids dived under their desks. The other one that was out in the open with rest of the school kids reported that the kids were falling down left and right due to the dizziness. It seemed like the ground was moving to and fro. The high intensity ones are the most dangerous ones. The ground literally parts and poisonous gases get released from underground. Building after building collapse.
