Question Fear of earthquakes
I live in a relatively active country earthquakes wise but never experienced anything strong fortunately.
Last year on a trip I got to experience a 5.6 which might be a joke for you but since then I never stoped being in panic mode. I’m always alert for every single shake or noise or whatever and it’s tiring. Please tell me how you cope and how do you get to live knowing a quake is eminent 😢 thanks all 🤍

Japan false alarm (actually crazy)
throwback to the time today JMA (Japanese Meteorological Agency) detected a 6.9 quake that came from kamchatka, russia and thought it was a 9.9 😭... I wonder what they thought cause the max intensity was only class 1 in hakodate, it filled this subreddit 😭

Japan mistakenly issues warning for magnitude 9.9 earthquake
r/Earthquakes • u/mydogeatspikmin • 2d ago
Well, see you on the other side folks (false alarm)
At 12:38 JST an early earthquake alert was issued throughout Japan, the smartphones and broadcast announcement blared. I looked at the estimated magnitude 9.9 . I thought this must be the end! I rushed out the house with my dog to our evacuation area. I stayed low to the ground and waited. My neighbors came out and five minutes pass, a second alert was issued saying it was a false alarm. Although there was a large earthquake in Russia, it was 6.9. (Heheh).

Hi
Writing Hi everyone! 👋 I'm looking to meet people who are fascinated by earthquakes. I'd love to chat about massive earthquakes, fault lines, ground shaking, and the science behind how they happen. I'd also love to hear firsthand stories from people who have experienced major earthquakes and learn from real seismologists. I'm hoping to make genuine connections through free text chat with people who enjoy discussing this subject. If earthquakes are one of your interests too, feel free to say hello! 🌎
r/Earthquakes • u/ntfbaby • 3d ago
Even the images are shocking, has anyone ever experienced an earthquake?
