Felt very strong Earthquake in Guwahati

[Alok]

I was playing GTA V as usual and my bed started to shake like I'm in boat. I never faced an earthquake before so I though someone is shaking my bed , I saw no one was there. I thought something must be under my bed. But I couldn't find the reason and my mind didn't think even a single time that it is an EQ. It lasted for about 15 seconds. After it stopped I looked google and found that its common here in North East India as It is earthquake prone region. But after receiving a call from my home at Lucknow & Bahraich I switched to news and found that It was 7.9 Richter Scale All over north India.

THe EQ started in Nepal and moved south towards India.. I sincerely hope no one was hurt !

 

[Alok]

I was like zero mind zero thought. Never felt anything like this. I was on the second floor of the building

The first earthquake I felt was when my friend was playing death metal songs.
He said , he felt earthquake. I said , dude its the song man. Step down the volume a bit.

I switched to news and found that It was 7.9 Richter Scale All over north India.

It's the intensity and depth that decides the extent of damage. And the distance too. Idiotic journalism by newspapers.

M7.9 - 29km
M7.9 - 29km ESE of Lamjung, Nepal

I am in Delhi and was on second floor of some building. Felt the tremors quite strongly. Probably the first time I felt it so clearly. Many people including me rushed to ground floor through stairs.

It's common to feel after shocks with an earthquake of this intensity. Felt aftershocks two times.

more than 100 lives in nepal including 30 guides on mount Everest

I was half asleep on my bed at that time as I slept late at night. Lying on the bed on my back, I felt as if my blood vessels are opening that's why I am feeling the sensation of vibration on my back. Looked at the water bottle and the water in that too was shaking. Because I was half asleep I thought that maybe I might have moved somewhat on the bed that's why the water in the bottle near my bed was shaking as well.

I actually felt good about the vibrating sensation on my back though. And I remained in that position to get maximum comfort.

Till that time didnt realised that it was an earthquake. After an hour, switched on the TV and they showed that it was 7.9 intensity quake. I was like wtf?!!

I am in UP. So, the impact was much lesser here. After that I thought, if the center would have been in India then I would have certainly not be able to understand what was happening in that situation. And it could have been worse for me.

Just like they did after tsunami

Kanchan Gupta @KanchanGupta · 3h 3 hours ago

Suddenly swines all over. “@GlobalOutfittrs: Nepal rocked by magnitude 7.9 quake, fatalities certain. May they find Jesus' love & strength."

While the Indian Gov is working hard to provide relief sending 14 NDRF teams, C-17 , C-130.

PMO India retweeted
Narendra Modi @narendramodi · 12m 12 minutes ago

Spoke to PM Sushil Koirala, who is in transit in Bangkok on his way to Kathmandu. Assured all support & assistance during this tough time.

MOD Spokesperson: Indian Army Team in Mount Everest Area is safe and will now conduct rescue operations.

Umm, can we keep this thread strictly about the earthquake? ^^

 

[Lenny]

I saw the news from various news media and the images were devastating. Hope the people of Nepal and other that got hit can recover from this fast.

Prayers to all those who died, injured, lost someone or something really important.

I was sitting upon a chair besides my office desk,when my head and body started to reel. Initially I thought that I must have some blood pressure problem or any health issue,but suddenly a commotion from some of my colleagues aroused all of us and we ran down to the ground floor out on the streets.Everywhere from various office buildings people were panick stricken and most of them were on the streets. This was the location at Park Street,Kolkata,West bengal.
Though tremors felt were not so severe here at Kolkata.

Nepal eq is third strongest since 1897 in Indian continent. Wiki says in 1934 (Nepal-Bihar EQ), it completely destroyed Kathmandu and Muzaffarpur costing over 20k lives

Acc. to USGS today's eq was only 2 km deep.
