My earthquakes and tremors diary ( Terrimoto). Before I got here I was told that I should be prepared for earthquakes and tremors and an extremely cold winter. Got here and had an induction on how to react to react when it hits. So on 22 July 2016 at around 12pm I'm like boss I

Will work until late as we close at 1pm. Cool. So I go to my office. Here I am sitting looking pretty and being a dedicated public servant, next thing the windows start going tjikitjiki, desktop jumping up and down and I'm also shaking. Yooooh. I started screaming running to my

Boss's office. As I open my door, everyone is running towards cause I was crying, shaking and running . So they got me to calm down. Now i called to check on the kids. They said they thought they were dizzy . I then said I need to get out of the office. My boss looks at me

And asks if I'm ok and started laughing. I said I needed to get out of the building cause it's gonna fall and I don't want to die. I run to the lift and it was deactivated cause you should not use it during this time. So I said I'm living. They asked Wer I'm going nderi hotel vha

Ntsea. So I just got my things and left. So the other day we were in Costanera Mall having lunch. Then everything starts shaking. Everyone was calm. I was the only black person in the restaurant and the only person screaming. I grabbed the guy who was on the next table with his

Girlfriend. The restaurant manager brought me a glass of Fanta Orange and told me to drink it all. Mind you the Mall is part of the Skyscraper with 62 floors. I'm thinking uri Yoooh, I will be mince meat and my family won't recognize me We had ordered dessert and we cancelled it.

My car was in the basement and I refused to go there. I left it there overnight. . Its funny now but by then I almost sh... on myself. So I used to call my mom whenever it hits but due to the frequency I have stopped cause gogo will have a heart attack. At some point she

Was like, come home you gonna die. Before we got here my kids slept in their bedrooms but from 2016 to 2019 we have been sharing a bed. The older one now sleeps on his own. We are so used to it hat it happens we stand under the door frame or go under the table.

My little one refused to sleep alone since we go here ( Muthu uto balelwa nau fasa)The school always send a report after each tremor or earthquake to let us know how the kids are doing. I struggled a lot initially and had to seek counseling from Employee Wellness Centre.

At some point I was thinking of quiting cause it's always scary. One minute you are chilling in you bed next thing you are involuntarily vibrating and jumping up and down. After it hits, my kids follow me everywhere. They even stand by the bathroom door. Anza usually sleeps

Within 10 minutes after it hits cause he is scared. Whenever it happens at night it feels like u dizzy or out of it for a moment. The worst experience I had with it was when I was in the bathroom. I had to immediately shower

From time to time we receive officials for work projects. So this other time, it hit in the middle of the night dude (54 years old) called and said I should pick him up he wants to leave the hotel. I was like dude stay there, it's everywhere. So in the morning dude put

Everything in his bag and slept with his neh next to his bed. He said he is not coming back here.

You can't sleep naked here. Evacuation by a helicopter is a possibility every single day. Just imagine no edela nga birthday suit

The interesting part is that Chileans just sit there like nothing is happening. I still scream but at home I have to act strong for the kids. I always struggling to sleep for like a week after it hits cause I feel like it's coming. This was minor though.
