Earthquake in Sikkim

varuog · 19-09-2011, 07:53 PM

Hi friends,

I was looking for a thread on this topic but didn't find any. So decided to create one.

How many of you experienced yesterday's tremors? Do share your views about it.

As for me, I was in my hometown Siliguri when the quake took place. I was watching the movie "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan" when suddenly the ceiling started falling. Luckily, I managed to get out unharmed.
I've shared the detailed experience at my blog: Sikkim Earthquake: A Personal Experience | Techrav

Tomorrow I'll be leaving for Sikkim as I need to join back my college. Didn't even get a full day holiday today

Anyways, lets just pray for all the victims of the aftermath !

Ya, I felt the shake here in Kolkata.

Terrible. I didn't feel any shake here anyway.
Just hope they recover quickly and no more damage done.

I didn't feel it at all, but in news everyone is saying that shocks were felt in Delhi-NCR too....

I just hope nothing worse happens now...

It was shaking like the land liquified here in ktm, Land shaking in vertical and horizontal in two directions all at once was a hell of an experience. It almost felt like my house was floating.

Felt a mild shaking while lying on the bed (I know that's un-usual at that time but everybody know what friends can do to anyone. :sick: ).

Its not sad that people lost their lives.. Even more sad is thinking what will happen to their families and relatives...
