Getting shaked while asleep

August 23, 2020 2:44am CST
Last week we've been waked up by being sjaked hardly coming from the ground.. Oh boy.. This experience was indeed shocking.. Imagine, sleeping and waking up with a thougjt that someone was waking you up? But then realize no one was their and there was indeed a strong earthquake.. After that incident, I really felt dizzy all day.. 6.5 magnitude earthquake in an island near us.. Luckily, there is no damage on our part but on the epicenter of the earthquake, few people died and many were destroyed... So whenever earthquake comes, don't panic, go to a safe place, duck and cover.. Keep safe

Oh sorry for that,yes indeed i will get panic on that ,but sometimes panic will confuse you what to do,so we need to be strong and ready always during such happenings.
