it would be good to give advice to people on what to do if in an eaerthquake; eg, stand in a corner of the building if you can not get out quickly, or get outside, and so forth.
well i m a student of mit college, pune. i was bunking colege and i was at my flat which is on 7th floor and i was busy sleeping suddenly i felt my wooden bed shaking and i got up to discover that my water jar was rolling on the gound.my fan was dancing in mid air. ink fell from the ink botle and all my papers were soiled. i think i felt the shakes for some 20 - 30 seconds.
I was having lunch and the chair started shaking,I thought I was feeling giddy,so I shook my head and closed my eyes and again opened it to find the tremor still going on.Then me knew it was earthquake and looked at the time in my watch which was 3.15pm.The tremor felt was clearly distinct.
I was sitting in my office, at Bandra(W), Mumbai, when I felt my chair tilting/moving to the right. When I tried to hold on to the table, for support, I felt the table vibrating also, I felt totally unnerved for a moment, and then I asked the rest of my colleagues, whether they felt the vibration, and they said they had. We immediately noted the time it was 3.20pm.
Just this morning, I was telling my husband, the house would be so quiet and peaceful, after our 4 kids were married and had moved away, but when the earthquake took place, my only prayer to God was that "if I had to die, I wanted to die with my 4 noisy kids and my husband around me, and at home".
God Bless each and everyone of you reading this message.
i study in pune and justcome from college and was about to take a nap when the cot on which i was lying shook for a few seconds. the table began shaking and there was rattling of windows. it was like a roller-coaster ride.
I here like to give my thought that the earthquake propagates from east to west... that I have observed last year as well and now again this year after Tsunami's cause it has come towards the western side of India and might travel to gulf countries and till california... can anyone try to relate this ... is it just a coincidence or there is a relation ? if the relation is due to the plate tectonics then it is quite possible for predicting the earthquake which is the very dangerous natural desaster Thanking You ~Suraag
