Earthquake in India

Blogging live from Ranchi, just felt very slight earthquake shake in Ranchi (Harmu housing colony). I felt the sofa shake but ignored it, and after a second or two felt it shake again and i asked my father if he was moving his leg, but he said he felt it too, and we quickly jumped out and moved out of home… i managed to make a tweet about it. Follow me on Twitter for more details on it.

6 : 15 PM to 6 : 17 PM (18/9/2011) was the time when we felt the earthquake shake. Right now it is 6 : 30+ and we are back in the house. Watching news now and staying alert in case we have to rush out again…

Still nothing about it on Google Trends India, i guess people have just started to realize it.

Following are some tweets i made so far:
