I'm sitting in my chair in front of the laptop this morning and I feel something strange. My head suddenly feels so dizzy. I said no I think this is earthquake. I feel as if the ground is swaying and I feel so dizzy. I'm waiting for noise around people talking of earthquake but there's none.
Until my eldest sister message us if we are okay if we feel the earthquake. That's the time I am sure it is an earthquake because I never ever feel dizzy while I'm in the store. I'm not the type of person who always feels dizzy. I actually get scared as I feel suddenly so dizzy.

@averygirl72 I remember when a powerful one hit a city 200 km from us, we felt it very well.

Same here I thought I was dizzy too but then I felt like the chair I was sitting on was also kind of jolted and my vision somewhat got blurry since the monitor I was looking at seems to be moving sideways. I confirmed it was an earthquake when I looked at my aquarium and there the water was swaying sideways. I was anticipating that some of the water may spill but it did not and after a few seconds, it was still again.

@averygirl72 Very disorientating feeling and it was not a good feeling at all. I know when you are in a hammock and it sways it feels good but an earthquake feels the same it is not a good feeling you always become alerted and feel panicky at times.

@rsa101 It is as if the ground is so soft and it is swaying. Didn't see anything around swinging. Just very dizzy feeling

I was asking myself at that time I asked if I'm just dizzy or there is an earthquake. I began to think it's earthquake because I rarely got dizzy just sitting on the chair. I confirmed it in my sister

It's strong here in our province.. I thought I was dizzy. We were sweeping our backyard and were under those big trees when suddenly the ground was shaking... Actually we're near the epicenter... It's intensity 6 here...

It is strong near the epicenter. Since we are faraway it was light here in my place

The first time I had this experience was when I travelled in Japan. At that time it was midnight in a hotel. I also felt dizzy and I found it very strange as it seemed the building moved. At first I thought it was my imagination only but later I learned this was the earthquake.

I'm guessing that you didn't experience any damage. I hope not.

My other siblings didn't feel it. I thought I was just sick. Near the epicenter there are damages. We are far
