tremors in singapore???

Answer 1

Yes, this is the 2nd time I've felt the tremors ever since Tsunami. The tremors were more severe than the previous one, despite I was sleeping on a double-decker bed, I can still feel the trebles and swayings caused by the earthquakes at about 11.45am today. I'm staying at the HDB flats in the CBD area. Anyway, the richter scale was 6.6 and was considered critical. I think many lives have been taken in Indonesia - Sumatra. Let's pray for them! God Bless!!!

Many of my friends & relatives specially called to inform me for an evacuation because they've been evacuated to the ground floor at their workplaces.

The "best" thing was when I sms several of my colleagues & friends to inform them, they didn't believe in me. Instead, they returned my call and asked if I was joking with them. Well, I don't know what to say? Like the old folks' saying goes: "Good words often don't mean well to people".

SINGAPORE: Singaporeans felt two rounds of tremors in the space of two hours on Tuesday, following two earthquakes in Padang, Indonesia.

Singapore's Meteorological Services Division said the first tremors were felt at about 11.50am after an earthquake measuring 6.6 on the Richter Scale struck Padang on the island of Sumatra.

The epicentre was 50 kilometres north-northeast of Padang and some 430 kilometres south-west of Singapore.

The second round of tremors occurred around 1.50pm after another earthquake, measuring 6.1 on the Richter Scale, struck Padang.

The tremors were felt in many parts of Singapore.

Callers to the MediaCorp News Hotline reported tremors in the downtown city area of Beach Road, Robinson Road and Shenton Way, as well as residential areas such as Ang Mo Kio, Toa Payoh, Chua Chu Kang and Woodlands.

Witnesses said several tall buildings in the central business district swayed slightly.

Several buildings, like the Concourse, Capital Square and Centennial Tower in the city, and even Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Clementi, were evacuated.
