Hehe...for the first couple of seconds I didnt realize what was happening, by the time I went to the corridor people were peeking out from their doors and earthquake had stopped. When I was coming back and almost entering my house, aftershock.

It wasn't that intense here that I turn into Usain Bolt!

I was in the office. Was on the second floor. My chair started shaking. Quickly ran to evacuate the building.

Assam(4.4) > Arunachal Pradesh(5.3) >Iran - Pakistan Border (7.8).....looks like the Indian plate saw a lot of action today.

 

[notsuperstitious]

There was a small break in between.

I was afraid I was fainting and did not get off my seat, it was actually a relief when someone else also noticed it in office.

I was the first one out of the building.

BTW condolences to Iranian friends and swift recovery for injured.

My bed started shaking and I thought my body was going into spasms. Nothing could shake my bed other than disassembling it. It stopped when I stood up and I thought my mind was playing tricks. Sat back down and started again. Made my way downstairs in an orderly manner.

The quake was big but lasted short....If it had gone for a few more seconds the devastation would have been massive....
