I had experienced an earthquake more than a decade back. It had happened at a location that was 1200 km away from my place. We still felt it as it was so strong. The shaking of the earth makes it feel as if you are dizzy and it genuinely feels as if the earth is going to turn upside down. Over 20000 lives were lost in that tragedy.

I hope every one is safe in that area. I hope basic services like water and electricity resumes quickly.
