I felt the tremor this morning but I wasn't aware it was an earthquake. That's the effect once there is successive rain. I am so scared of earthquake .

I hope that no one is seriously hurt. Magnitude 7.1 is a strong one. But this one seemed like weak because it is in the waters. Be alert on the warnings. Good thing that there is no tsunami.

I am glad to know that it was not of strong intensity and did not affect the property and lives. I am scared of earthquakes and wish I may never experience it in my life.

Intensity 7.1 is so strong. There were many damages during that occurrence. There were casualties who were not able to evacuate from the weak building. Many buildings collapsed and tsunami followed. It's not an ordinary 7. 1 magnitude.
