Anybody ever been through an earthquake and was you scared?

Question

just went through one in rhodes and it lasted for 45 seconds, hit 6.5 on the richter scale. It was so amazing!

Answer 1

Only a small one, it was in the middle of the night and i was woken by a strong shaking, at first i thought i was my dad falling out of bed (lol) then i thought it might be the heating pipes rattling and shaking the floorboards. only after a minute or two did it ocour to me that it was an earth quake. And no i wasnt scared it was quite exciting :)

Answer 2

I don't know what the scale was but I was sleeping and it woke me up I thought for a moment I was getting possessed or something  because the bed was shaking , then plates started falling and I realized what was going on...very scary!!!

ha,, possessed!!!! that kills me even now!!!!

glad you were not hurt or anything ...all the best!

Answer 3

I sat through a 5.3 richter one a few months ago... it lasted for about 10-15 seconds at past midnight.

I was sitting on the fourth floor of a university campus building, and could literally feel and see the building's four corners swaying from side to side..... name plates that were hanging started swinging frantically.

I wasn't scared..... but it was rather an interesting sensation! My first!
