There was an earthquake here in Bombay (mumbai) at about 3.47 local time. now it is 5.28 local time. neways it was 5.1 on the r. scale. The dodgy thing is that me and my family didnt feel a thing while ppl in south bombay were evacuating the building
this is the 4th eq that was felt by ppl in our city and yet not a thing was felt by any of out family members thats a good thing newayz cause nothing happened to us and i hope it stays that way

Thats really dodgy, how come you didn't feel it, I hope that everybody is okay, well anyway, I'm glad that I live where I am tbh. No earthquakes or anything .

the other day there was an earthquake in south africa and various people felt it. i didnt though.. about 80 people needed shelter and i think 2 people died in mines

earthquakes suck, I'm glad I live far away from them...

I live far away from any major plate-boundaries, which also means that I live far away from any volcanos or any volcanic activity, therefore, I am generally safe to such things as earthquakes, volcanoes, I'm also save against things such as tornadoes.

I'm safe against tornadoes etc. because the prevailing winds come from the south-west, this is the caribbean, where there are generally a lot of hurricanes or whatever, and because of the large amount of water, the things cannot get to me, I think where I live is really safe, and I'm thankful that I was born here and have lived here all of my life .

U were talking about major plates. This is where i live. Still i got affected by it
the dot is where Bombay (Now called Mumbai) is

Seriously this whole mother nature thing bothers me- we never reallyhad earthquakes in South Africa - the Tsunami ? never heard of such disasters on such magnitude in a long time..

Noticed how the weather patterns have changed as well..
Makes you wonder if Mother nature is p'd off or is the end near ..... (thweee thwee thweee  - physco)

Yes, but you are still relatively close to a plate boundary, whereas I am quite far away from any of the surrounding plate boundaries.

oh no hope everyone's okay. we're lucky in the UK we don't really have earthquakes but sometimes tiny little shakes but nothing destructive thankfully

Hope things are ok.

We did have an earthquake once, in Shropshire, a few years ago.
