Experiencing Earthquake

Lately,the news about the earthquake occurs in japan was being broadcast and the images of the ruins shows that the quake is really strong,correct me if i'm wrong it magnitudes 7.4,tremblor struck just before the midnight in Fukushima. And there are casualties and injured. If we could still remember year 2011 Fukushima japan,where thousands perished when a magnitude 9.1 quake also triggered a tsunami.

Here in the Philippines,year 2013 a strong earthquake happen in Bohol,with 7.2 magnitude where churches was also collapsed. And not just in bohol but many earthquakes occur in different part of the Philippines,why? because the Philippines lies along the Pacific Ring of Fire, and a number of active earthquake fault lines which causes the country to have frequent seismic and volcanic activity. 'Salamat sa science teacher ko may nalaman ako kahit papano'...😁

I always experience earthquakes since then,and as what i have observe when summer begins and when the heat temperature rise,earthquakes usually happen and i am right it's just almost a week of a very hot days and a quake does happen just last night. Having an advance feeling of this i dont know if it was a trauma of what happen during those years where a strong quakes that i experienced, but I personally detect it first before it happen,..maybe im just having this advance instinct,i dont know ...but before a quake happen i always had an advance reaction. Like when I was in the city,I enter to this mall to just stroll around,but just before i enter i stop and feel that theres something boiling under my feet,under the soil....and the thing that comes in my mind is 'what's that?',and as i watched the people around me there's no any reaction to them,i guess they doesn't fell it,and i looked on to some hanging materials,and slowly it sways and then the quake happens,.and i dont want to panic because if i do i will be stock in a stampede since all the people inside the mall are already rushing out,instead i stand on the area where i can sure that no falling debris would easily fall in me,and when the exit was not that crowded i slowly exit the mall. Even in my sleep I wake up about a minute ago before an earthquake happen, just like what happen last night,at exactly 12 midnight, i just woke up and can't sleep even though im too sleepy and a strong quake happen,it was strong because my bed was swaying,i called my parents to wake them up just to alarm them that if the quake intensified we need to go outside the house or go under our bed. But thankfully it just lasted for a minute maybe. The epicenter (Burauen,Leyte) of the earthquake is just a few kilometers away to us. Though the magnitude is 5.0 it still scares everybody. Thankfully there's no damages happen in our place.

Experiencing the fury of an earthquake is terrifying. Living through an earthquake is frightening, but surviving one is just the beginning.

Obviously, being prepared for an earthquake can reduce injuries, minimize property damage and—most important—save lives. So when an earthquake happen,relax and think. Remember Do's and Dont's,and dont forget the drills that we usually practice in the school DUCK,COVER AND HOLD. Don't panic, and if possible make sure to have a 'go bag',where you can put all the things that will be needed in times of calamity, put an emergency kit,food that will not easily stale,flashlight,batteries and a few clothes.
