<p>Im the student in Taiwan.
There are many earthquakes in my country, and there were also an earthquake measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale rattled Taiwan last week. I felt that it is nothing after suffering the big earthquake 921 in Taiwan many years ago, so I didnt do anything; however, my friend who comes from foreign country was very scared and surprised to my calmness when the earthquake happened.
Are there many earthquakes in your country? What did you do when the earthquake happened? And can you please tell the earthquake experience if you had had the experience?</p>
<p>I’m a student in Taiwan , too .
I remembered in 921 , i was so scared because that was the first time i really what earthquake is . I thought , i won’t forget .</p>
<p>Best wishes</p>
<p>I still can remember 921,too. It was the most terrible exprience in my life.</p>
<p>God bless us</p>
<p>I have lived in the biggest earthquake hotspot in my country (USA) for my entire life… and even had the ■■■■■■■ to move ever-so-closer to the earthquake epicenter in the past couple of years.</p>
<p>Earthquakes here are like tornadoes to the middle states. It’s a fact of life. For the most part, I have only felt a lot of little ones, but a few of them have been fairly strong. Really, I am pretty calm when they hit. If they are pretty strong, I make my way out of the building I’m in, but I’m usually not that freaked out…</p>

I almost get used to the earthquakes because there are so many frequent earthquakes in my city, Hualien.<br>
Take the earthquakes which happened several days before for example, I lived in my school dormitory in Taichung, almost all the students in the tenth story cried out and rushed out of their rooms. I was still drowsy on my bed and didn’t want to get up at all.
I also remember the 921 earthquake happened in 2001, I was a elementary school student then. I just knew the ground shook so violently, but my memory is so vague now that I can’t remeber it completely.
I think maybe I never face the scare of dead, so I can’t realized the feeling.
There were so many people who expirenced 921 earthquake and almost died in the earthquake. If they expirence it again, they must feel very scared. They must rebuild their spirit through many years.</p>
<p>I’m from Alaska and there are plenty of earthquakes there (mostly smaller ones less than 6.0 magnitude). California (West Coast) also has frequent earthquakes, but in general most of the U.S. is earthquake-free because there are only few states next to major fault lines. To me they aren’t a big deal at all - I’ve never been through a serious life-threatening earthquake though.</p>
<p>I live in Southern CA, so I’ve been in quite a few earthquakes, though most were small and just lasted a few seconds.</p>
<p>I was 5 when the Northridge Earthquake hit (a 6.7), and I mainly remember lying in my bed and watching the lamp on my dresser shake. My family had to move afterward, because it put some major cracks in the walls of our house.</p>
<p>Then a couple summers ago there was a 5.5 earthquake. I heard it a few seconds before I felt it (though I didn’t initially know what the rumbling noise was), and when I realized what was going on, I just stepped into an open doorway to wait for it to end. I was a little surprised when it lasted longer than most do, but wasn’t worried about it.</p>
<p>So yeah, smaller earthquakes aren’t really a big deal.</p>
