Earth Quake in India, Pakistan and Afganistan

My city also have earthquake. At 2.40 PM when I was siting in my shop I feel vibration in my chair and fan. It is about 30 second. Intensity of earthquake was 7.7. Thanks God no one hurt in my city.

It was a powerful earth quake. measuring 7. 5 on the Richter scale. The tremors were felt in India too  in Kashmir. Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab besides Pakistan, Afghanistan. The casualties are increasing. Rescue operations are in Progress.

Earth Quake affected Agra also. Some people includingthe clients visiting my office also told about the qquake but I couldnot noticethe quake. For me allwas usual.  

It must be of less magnitude in Agra. The tremors are not uniform in India. They are of varying  magnitudes in Delhi, Punjab,and Haryana. That's why you did not feel the tremors.

Thank God, you are safe. The intensity of the tremor varied from place to place. Gulshanji ji did not feel the tremors very much in Agra. Whereas, you felt high intensity.

 

I am also from North Rajasthan, I felt the quake two times. The first one was lighter but the second one stronger and every thing placed in the room started vibrating for more than 30 seconds. I with my family members immediately ran out of the house in the open ground.

Running away to an open ground is a wise thing .in open ground  buildings will not be there. The risk of getting hurt will not be there.

 Regarding the intensity of the quake, it varies from place to place according to a place's distance from epicenter.

According to geological survey, such earth quakes may come again around Hinduskush area, and this is due to the recent Earth quake in Nepal. The plates take time to adjust, and when these plates move earth quake will occur.

Yes more earthquakes may occur in the Hindukush region. An earthquake occurs when the Tectonic plates move. and is also true that the movement of plates take time to adjust. Hence it is possible more earthquakes may occur in Hindukush region.

I still vividly remember the roaring wave passing  below my feet in the 2002 earthquake in Gujarat which levelled the city of Bhuj in Kutch. Earthquakes are unpredictable and if strong cause damage to life and property. Already reports are saying that nearly 400 people have lost their lives in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Yes running away to an open area is best one precaution, I also think for it but I did not.

I can understand Anil. We panic and become motionless during a crisis.Our mind becomes numb. Very few will stay alert and do what's required to do.

 

 

In Delhi my family and I felt the tremors very strongly. I was indecisive about what to do with a thirteen year old son and 84 year old mother-in-law even she is a pneumonia patient especially because I stay on 3rd floor and my husband was in his office. I really got frightened but thank God! It's all fine now.

I know Anil. it takes time for you because of your problems. But I think even if you walk, it will be slow is not it ?

Great. But during such crises times like Earth quakes and Tsunamis, every second counts. You have done what you could due to your bad health
