DCEite · 8th October 2005, 09:33

I am writing this 2 mintutes after a massive earthquake lasting more than 20 seconds(my guess) shook Delhi. I dont know the intensity, or the epicentre.. i guess i will have to tune into News channels right now.. till now all i can say that it was bloody strong earthquake.. my computer was shaking all over before i realised it was an earthquake..

Yup. my sis just called up from Noida - there was indeed a strong earthquake in north India- so much that our cars were shaking. No damage in delhi apparently but Jammu has suffered a bit - that's all I know at the moment.

the bbc website doesnt have anything right now and since i dont have access to a telly I cant watch the news.

Hope there's not much damage or deaths from this.

Some latest news regarding this: Epicentre was in Muzzafrabad (pok). Richture scale: 7.6.

Deeps · 8th October 2005, 14:07

What and earthquake in Delhi?? Anyone got any info. as to how long ago it hit? 7.6 is huge! Hopefully the damage caused will be minimal.

I couldn't believe this till I went and checked out the news and it says Srinagar was affected quite badly.

DCEite · 8th October 2005, 17:16

Thankfully not much damage in Delhi.. but Islamabad had a lot of damage, and so did PoK and Jammu and Kashmir...

I reached home at 03:00 am from office & was sleeping while tremors happened & felt swinging in my head. Thought, may be because of overwork i was experiencing it.

Again back office during afternoon, the second shock struck around 16.30. Though of less intensity, but pretty strong. Got to my head again.

omigosh...7.6 on the richter scale...that must've been quite a shockwave...

True the earthquake didnt do much damage in Delhi.. But it was the strongest earthquake i experienced here in Delhi... my computer was shaking like anything...

I was logged onto Team-Bhp at that time.. and just 2 minutes after the earthquake stopped, i started this thread..

That was a disaster....and they seem to be coming more often....first the Tsunami, then the earthquakes...then the hurricane...then the rains...then the quakes again...
