Witness an earthquake

Hot 2532 views. 2013-11-4 23:12 | colleagues, something, occurred, against, passing

At 11：03 am on October 31, an earthquake measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale occurred at Qianguoxian county to the west of our county. I felt the tremor at the moment at our office with some of my colleagues. We were sitting at our desks by the same wall. At first we didn't think it an earthquake but mistook it for someone bumping something against our desks by accident or some heavy truck passing by causing the vibration. It was said this started a panic among the faculty and the student body of the Central School of our town, who rushed out of the five-storey tall building immediately. I was calm and didn't flee for our office building is a solid bungalow.

Reply sedgehead 2013-11-5 02:36: Interesting. I've heard one earthquake but I've never felt one. I grew up in California but have lived in Arkansas much of my life. We are about 200 miles east of the New Madrid fault, a fault that caused a major series of earthquakes (8.9 on the Richter Scale) in about 1814.
