Yesterday, November 27, 2007, an earthquake occurred that lasted for about 30 seconds. I was putting salt in our viand that time when I felt like am shaking and I'm feeling dizzy. I thought it's an effect because i removed my eye glasses, but the shaking continued..my mother was setting the table while my boyfriend is holding my nephew Joash. Darryl, my boyfriend, was about to bring Joash out but thank God, it stopped slowly. During the news, I was startled to hear that our region recorded an intensity 5 earthquake which happened the other day. We are lucky because the shaking we felt is not that strong. I admit that I felt a little bit nervous because it is the strongest earthquake that I have felt so far. Other regions in my country recorded a shaking with an intensity of 6. I hope nobody was hurt. Our classes were suspended though of fear that there might be another earthquake. Up to now, there's none. Goody!

Hi Karen,
That sounds really very scary. I am glad that you are fine. You are really experiencing quite difficult weather conditions and now even a strong earthquake. I'll be praying for you,

Roger

Re: Earthquake!!!!
Charleston, South Carolina, was hit by a minor earthquake last week that caused mostly minor damage. No homes were destroyed, and there weren't major injuries as a result. Charleston isn't known as an earthquake hot spot in the U.S. like California is, but quakes do happen there. The most recent one measured a 3.6 on the Richter scale. 3.6 isn't a major event, but cleaning up after it is a royal pain in the neck. The history of the region has been that a small quake, like the one that just happened, is a usual precedent of a much larger one to come. An earthquake rocked Charleston in 1886 that killed upwards of a hundred people and cost millions to repair, and measured between 6.6 and 7.3 on the Richter. The Great San Francisco Quake of 1906, by comparison, was over 9.0 on the Richter. (A 10 has never been seen or recorded in the span of human history, and isn't achievable by atomic blasts.) Earthquakes are tough to predict, because the only indicators that tell of one happening are apparent only right before the event.
