I was blogging early early this morning when I felt groggy. Eyes felt like popping out! All because of this: Earthquake, measuring 8.7, hits Northern Sumatra.
Well, I didn't react much after feeling the tremors. My only thoughts were "Fwah kaoz! I've been surfing too long. What has blogging done to my head!". I didn't bothered also partially because my considerate neighbours staying upstairs had decided to use KungFu Hustler to test their home entertainment system...in the middle of the night!...at 11.30pm! All the cling clang cling clang kaboom bang had already made my windows vibrate.
But half an hour later, I went to USGS' website to check if anything had happened. Apparently, nothing was reported at that moment. Then I decided, enough of surfing for the day. Then I went off to bed.
This was the first time I experience tremors from an earthquake. This morning, some expert over the radio said that this tsunami is likely to be a non-destructive one. 8.7 is big! Let's just hope nothing severe has resulted in the shake-up in Indonesia.
