experience via email |
Hi Editor,
I did not witness the tsunami, but I was in North Sumatra
capital city Medan. I was having breakfast with my partner
and family, and we suddenly feel the earth moving, my
dad runs to the bathroom to make sure that we are not
just feeling dizzy, and found the water in the bathtub
shaking furiosly.
We run out from the house and still feels the earth
is moving very hard. I have been through at least 6
times of earth quake in my life, but this is the strongest
one.
Windows from upper floors if flapping from the earth
movement and cracks afterwards. Hanging electric cables
was swinging left and right. People is praying for safety.
Just this little tremors and I can feel the insecurity
and helplessness against such a powerful nature disaster.
All my heart is out for family of victims. And I hope
no more aftermath. Human being are not capable to comprehends
the extend of loss of human lifes, or economic value
this disaster means.
Ivon
