Just recently, a 4.0 magnitude earthquake shook some areas of the province of Iloilo at exactly 10:50 PM, which, judging from my PC clock, was an hour or so ago. I was playing a single player game of Stronghold when all of a sudden the PC desk started shaking, as well as the ceiling fan. Not only that, the lights were flickering and I could sense that something destructive might come. Fortunately, the tremors didn't last long, lasting only seconds. It was a relief for my family's part. Still, during the shaking, I felt an adrenaline rush thinking that the quake would intensify, and it would leave me and my family a dilemma.
It's a good thing the quake didn't intensify into a massive, violent tremor that would leave Iloilo in wreckage.
And it's a good thing that there were no casualties. But as far as I'm concerned, earthquakes can come unexpectedly. We can be caught off guard by those tremors. So it's better to be prepared than to suffer in the end, as many will say.
I'll end right here. There are more earthquake-related stories I need to tell, but this lad's going to bed. All this talk about earthquakes makes me feel drowsy. Nightie night dudes and dudettes. -_-
