Earthquake proof builds will shake at least.
Ours didn't. I bet more than half the people don't have any knowledge.
on a side note our working system is down. I hope servers got damaged ! :-D

I too felt here in cuttack odisha. Was viewing a 100 pushup youtube video when my computer chair and table started shaking and my head felt like it was reeling.

I thought it was coz i didn't get proper sleep last night until i realized that it was really an earthquake. Turning on the tv confirmed the same with a richter scale reading of 8.9 in Sumatran islands. A tsunami alert was broadcast and all coastal areas are under high alert.

Odisha has the bay of bengal and thus has potential calamity threat.

It wasn't serious. tbh, people should actually go out of buildings. Reaction should be swift.

"DID ANYONE FEEL AN EARTHQUAKE JUST NOW" -- this is what people tend to post on social networking sites BEFORE running for their lives. Some day it might be serious.
