I was just "thrown" from my bed, to say. It struck just after midnight. I would say that at the beginning it was a Vertical earthquake, and then went Laterall.
It lasted for a good minute, which is really scary. and it was really strong, it got really strong during the middle, however it was just the silence around us that was really scary. Apart from creeks, doors, and even screams from Neighbours. It was silent.
Living in an Apartment building, im on the 5th floor. So, yes it was kinda bad. My lamp was shaking so hard, it swung and hit the roof. However, there seems to be no structual damage, and everything in the house seems fine.
It was 70miles from the Capital, 300km under the Sea. No Tsunami warning however, due to it's lateral movement and depth, which is a good thing.
After experiencing 12 years of Jakarta'n earthquakes, this is the longest and worst one ive ever felt...
Now, i just await the After Shocks, and hope they arent so bad. Heart still racing, and a little shaken. However, im good.
I just kinda with i was on SRO when this happen, so i could have said.
- "BRB Earthquake"
I'd be hysteric if a earthquake like that shook up Texas.....hope it doesn't get worse right now.....
.
But then again, we were on 1st floor instead of 5th so the shaking wasn't that bad at all, and it never really beyond magnitude 5.
