At first I felt shaking, and I thought it will be stopped soon. After 10 seconds I began nervous. It shook longer than normal earthquake. I was ready to evacuate myself but I was at the 9th floor. I decided to hold a pillar which is the nearliest one to me. After the earthquake, I went back to my office. Everyone was talking about the earthquake. I relaxed. The earthquake last 65 seconds, I think It is not a normal earthquake, there will be aftershocks happen in near future. We will need to be carefu

Overall, great story! When reading about Dengchu in the southwest China, I came across a story about an earthquake a few years back: 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Very sad story. In my area of the United States, hurricanes are the biggest risk. It usually only causes property damage and although there is some loss of life, unless they are very powerful it's not a huge number.
