It felt a little more than "mild" and I thought it was well over 6 in richter scale, but the press said it was only 5.7.
After 1985, we consider an earthquake "strong" when it approaches 7.

However, I do remember it as being one of the strangest experiences I have ever gone through. Hope everyone is OK.

@Ambarina: you're right, it's a very strange experience. An old friend of mine used to say an earthquake changes everything you thought of before, since the only thing that never seems to change at your feet is the floor and it suddenly starts moving.
![]() In Mexico City almost everyone gets very scared with any earthquake because the memory of 1985 is still fresh.

Chile is an earthquake prone country. I grew up being told what to do in case of one and had plenty of hands-on practice. On a seventh floor!
![]() All of my major quakes had been experienced on a seventh floor. You just can't imagine what a little tremor feels like at that height. Much less a 6.5 earthquake. The first time I experience a mild tremor on "dry land", was also the first time I heard the telluric noise a quake carries, I was 22 years old at the time. I almost stained my pants! |

When I lived in the Mexico city, I felt a earthquake in the my edifice when I was with my uncle, then it's truly very ugly more when you are in the thirteen floor, you can see as the things start to moving and hit all the things it's around, I didn't know what I should to do, but last fourteen seconds later, the earthquake finish without leave damages to my department, it's happened at the 90's, I didn't live the earthquake of the 80's but I my grandmother yes lived that earthquake.

Weak heart, Hernán?
![]() Many people around here go crazy during an earthquake, but I keep a simple principle to stay calm: if there is nothing breaking or falling around, the usual drop-cover-and-hold-on protocol will be effective. ![]() Btw... there is a collective mail praising some "triangle of life" theory, please don't pay attention to it and do what the international Red Cross and risk experts recommend. In case you're interested, the U.S. Geological Survey has a note on it: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learning/...ID=6&faqID=141

That is now, then I was ok.
![]() Always calm, as my mother taught us, my sister, brother and I. Whoever was closer to the main door, was to get up without running, if there were appliances plugged in to unplg them while on route to the door. Once there stay on the jamb until the movement ceased. ![]() On a seventh floor you are always to see crazy people running naked and what not, depending at the tiome of the day it happaned. ![]() Quote:
Now, stay put! ![]() |
