Right, I shall continue my earthquake posts.
So, I haven't felt the smaller ones nowadays. Just the big ones which are shallower. Now I cannot remember if it was one week before or 2 weeks before, on a Saturday night, suddenly there was 3 earthquakes in 15 minutes.
All three were quite strong. I had my feet on the floor and I could feel the ground shook hard. I didn't move the first time as I thought it was just another one. When the second one came, the lights on the wall made 'noise'. Hey, even my fan was shaking hard. I thought it was weird having 2 so close together. I mean, this is like the fourth week already. When the third one came, I stood up, ready to run outside but it stopped 2 seconds later.
I knew that it will be on the news so I checked the press the next day. True enough, it was, mentioning that it was one of the strongest aftershocks.
I think it was a Tuesday night when another aftershock happened again. This time, I could feel the house was moved in a circle motion. I saw the tv antenna was moved to the right. Then, it was the clothes hanger (towards me). Next thing, I could feel myself moved to the left. I didn't notice the other side though. Gosh, it would be the lcd tv moved (away from me). I was facing these things when the aftershock occurred.
Since then, I haven't felt any. So, apparently we have felt more than 1000 aftershocks since the big quake. It is a good thing that these aftershocks didn't really affect the power in the region. Maybe some places but really grateful that we are all alright.
