Earthquake in chennai

Chennai, 11-AUG-2009 1:30 AM:

I was about to sleep after the movie was over and I was lying down on the floor, when I felt that little shake of my floor. I thought I was fainting and I ignored that it. Few seconds later, again the floor was trembling that everyone in my room sensed that.

We were in a state of confusion, what’s happening. We went outside to check whether there are any other people who felt that trembling. But no one was there and we were back to our room.

Then we realized that it’s an earthquake. For the first time in my life I’ve felt that. The earthquake which lasts for few seconds, where most of the people couldn’t even felt, is it a warning?

Thanks God, it didn’t hurt anyone. Hope it won’t hit Chennai again.
