...an earthquake. I am trying to check the epicenter. It was two times in a row while having my class. It happened at 6:00 PM. So I need to tag myself absent at 6:30 PM. I am still having my class and jittery. I cannot abandon it.

I attached a photo that a killer earthquake that struck my city in Baguio in 1990. Have you experienced earthquakes before? Image Credit: assets2.rappler.com

Did it feel like a big earthquake? No, I've never been in one before.

It was two times aftershock. I hope it will not happen again. It was really scary when we had a killer earthquake in 1990.

@DaddyEvil Well, it needs not to be panic and walk away from the house.

@Shavkat I hope it doesn't happen again, too. What are you supposed to do when an earthquake hits?

I have experienced it many times but it was just some tremors. Hope this one was not as devastating as the one you have shown in picture here. Take care.

I found that we had an intensity 3 aftershock earthquake. It was not like before that shown in this photo.

@arunima25 It was just an aftershock and the intensity is 3. It is quite near my city.

@Shavkat Yes. It was totally unexpected where I live but it did happen. Moves my pictures on the walls and vibrated the house.

Nothing traumatic. In fact, Bug Island had 2 this month, and, didn't feel it. Understand how you feel though and would feel the same.

Because I was traumatized before, I usually startle with a small shake of the ground.

No earthquake but tornadoes and hurricanes.

During the killer earthquake in 1990, my family and I ran to the garden. We cannot even remember how to pray at that time.
