Hi Guys
Yesterday around @5.31 P.M. we had intense tremors of 6.9 Richter scale. It was terrifying experience for us thought our house would collapse and that would end of us.
We have to thank God for sparing our lives.
wish you all the best.
regards
Veekay

This was a big one, epicenter in Venezuela and felt strongly as far away as Bogota Colombia. Glad you are well.

I once experienced a major earthquake.
I was at the office and then suddenly we heard a low pitch sound then suddenly everything started to shake.
What came immediately to my mind was that the building was being carried by a giant forklift.
My desk ended 1 mt (3 ft) away from the place where it was before.

Glad you're safe!

Oh My! My stepmother (RIP) was from Trinidad. A lovely woman, who came into my life when I most needed a mother. Her mother was from Trinidad. I don't know her last name. She married a man named Anderson and came to Manhatten, NY, USA.

I will pray for all the people on in that beautiful place.
