IMP I was awake when I felt the tremors. When I asked my other friends they ridiculed me. After 20 odd mins it was on TV. lol

Richter Scale - 4.2

Classic timing on that!!

But seriously, did anyone else feel a shakin'-floor in India (or in Pune)?

spawnofsatan · 30th July 2008, 10:26

Yeah newport beach is right here, like 45 miles....

Earthquake? Are you sure?
Perhaps you got bowled over by the excitement of this forum, and felt that was an earthquake

karlosdeville · 30th July 2008, 11:24

I definitely felt it, and so did my cousin at the other end of Pune. Around 12 30, give or take.

suman · 30th July 2008, 11:25

My niece felt it last night around 12:50 or so - she's in Symbiosis Pune

ph03n!x · 30th July 2008, 12:14

I didn't see it on the morning papers (TOI). Is anything being reported in other papers / news channels?

Guys, I felt it. I was watching TV with my wife and suddenly by 12:35 pm or so, there were three big jolts. I thought that wifey was shaking the sofa to scare me.

We realized that it was an earth quake and ran to our balcony to see if anyone else from the building noticed. But there were no one outside. Everyone else were fast asleep, I guess!

andy_dog_lover · 30th July 2008, 15:49

Yep! definitely felt it. Was watching a Horror Movie and suddenly the bed shakes like hell for 3 seconds. As I'm alone nowadays, my first thought was some ghost has come to haunt me!

Went to the windows to see if anyone is running out but could find no one. Didn't dare ask anyone in the office today morning till I read the newsclip on timesofindia.com.

Technocrat · 30th July 2008, 15:55
