My fellow brits can relate with me on this one. What are you supposed to do on the top floor and an earthquake hits your town? How would you know it's an earthquake without ever witnessing an earthquake. Well, i'll tell you what i did - nothing. Nothing exactly, apart from letting shit run down my trousers and running from room to room just to make sure it is happening everywhere. I was speechless. I was scared. I have never felt anything like it and at the same time, i have no knowledge regarding the safety precautions. So, i was screwed, twice over in fact. Yet my heart was still racing and at the same time i stumble on my friends messages of fear and worry for safety as well as a good luck message. Was this the end? Sincere hopes off it all coming to an end, i mean the earthquake, not the world, however, i'll ask again what exactly is the safety advice for earthquakes? Is it run for safety or stay seated? Thankfully, my non english speaking neighbours knock the door in a panic, grab my hand and scream "run". So i ran, twenty floors, to escape an apartment that managed to stay upright. Imagine that! At the moment, the feeling of being punked and the chinese equivalent to Ashton Kutcher running from around the corner flirts with my train of thought. However, luckily, there was no chinese ashton kutcher but it was an actual situation that I'm happy to share with the steem world. Sadly, eight people had passed away in an nearby apartment on that frantic night in Sichuan, China. Hopefully, we'll have some safety guidance on what to do when an earthquake strikes again.
