A magnitude of 7.9 :S
May Allah forgive us all.
The birds kept chirping n as soon as it was over they were all quiet I guess I was the only one who noticed the birds my sis thought I was moving the bed :s
It's just strange everything's quiet now n while the earthquake came the birds subhanAllah.

May Allah :swt: keep you all safe In Shaa Allah.
There isn't any specific duaa prescribed for the time of earthquakes, but we should do similar to what the Prophet :saws: recommended when an an eclipse happens.
- Narrated Abu Musa: The sun eclipsed and the Prophet got up, being afraid that it might be the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgment). He went to the Mosque and offered the prayer with the longest Qiyam, bowing and prostration that I had ever seen him doing. Then he said, "These signs which Allah sends do not occur because of the life or death of somebody, but Allah makes His worshipers afraid by them. So when you see anything thereof, proceed to remember Allah, invoke Him and ask for His forgiveness." Sahih Bukhari

SubhanAllah! we were attending a workshop sitting on a floor on the upper part of the center and the floor started vibrating slowly slowly.. for 3 - 4 seconds we couldn't get whats happening but then someone said its earth quack..
alhamdulillah there was no panic but every one started reading kalima and astaghfar.. and floor continued to move for near half a minute with a break of few seconds between.. we prepared to get out of the building but it was over so workshop was continued. Alhamdulillah it was a gathering for Allah so He (SWT) put peace in our hearts.
when i realized that it is an earth quack and seconds has gone but the floor isn't stopping the images of 9 october 2005 earthquack flashed to me and i thought time to leave the dunya for me has arrived.. i was confused m i ready or not for so but i know that wouldn't matter if the time had really arrived.
alhamdulillah He SWT has given us one more chance...

:sl: I've ever experienced an earthquake but it was as low as a 4.5 magnitude I think and that was already scary.. You can feel the ground as if it was being forced by another being to move it left and right and you can feel the intensity. It lasted for around 6 seconds but it truly felt horrible and subhanallah this is one of Allah's signs. A 7.9 magnitude? That definitely is worse than mine and alhamdulillah you look like you're coping it well. There's two type of earthquake that I know of, the one that goes horizontally and the one that goes vertically. The one that goes vertically is said to be better than the one that goes horizontally because the later could destroy buildings

Mine was just 2.3 and it caused the rise of earth, not moving of continental plates. But voice was horrible.

Good that you are fine sis, never experienced a real earthquake though, i have experienced one but this was caused by gas drilling in the ground and hence this can cause minor earthquakes however i didnt felt it really, only my dad felt it and the power went off for a few seconds.
Earthquakes can be very scary, and i understand you were frightened for a while. At the same time, earthquakes are increasing because its one of the minor signs before the day of qiyamah.

Depends brother, on land the horizontal earthquake is more devestating, but in sea the vertical earthquake is more devastating because it can trigger a tsunami.

^ Alhumdulilah no tsunami warning buh they have no idea abt the aftershocks.
Some say aftershocks do come after an earthquake of high magnitude.

Doesnt have to be of high magnitude, aftershocks always happen after a earthquake wether very minor or huge, sometimes a aftershock can be worse than the main earthquake in magnitude, also a aftershock can cause more deaths and more damaged buildings to collapse. So, be vigilant sis, best to stay in a place not surrounded by huge buildings or powerlines.
