Earthquakes are such a strange feeling. Casually sitting down and then feeling everything around you weirdly moving from side to side.

Never experienced it. My guess is that I would be really scared if I experienced it. Even though it might be fine.
You can't really do anything in the moment. I'm on the top floor of a Soviet era crumbling commie block (probably better than new builds tbh) and out of nowhere it's like your insides are just being thrown around. It's over by the time you really process what's happening.
Sounds terrifying for me!
It is... Did an earthquake occur in your area recently?
Like two minutes before posting that I felt it. I looked it up and there was a 3.8 one in northern Armenia where they tend to take place. You can feel the tremors in Tbilisi.
I see... good thing it's not that strong, but still stay safe... :)
Earthquakes are becoming common in many places these days, and some of them are really scary. T_T
This region does sit right on a tectonic plate, so they're pretty frequent and not usually that bad. It's the second one I've experienced since being here, the first was last year. Didn't feel any in the southern areas of Armenia though.
That makes sense. It's the same in my country (the Philippines). There are times when it's stronger than usual, so every time we feel some shaking, we tend to worry about which area was affected and how strong it is.
There are no earthquakes in Brazil, but the sensation must be terrible.
I hope you are safe. Please take care.
