I experienced a 5.5 magnitude quake today for the first time for a couple of seconds. I can't imagine how dangerous this one was. since it increases the shaking by tenfold every 1 magnitude above 5

Imām Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله said,

“Allāh sometimes gives the earth permission to breathe, which is when major earthquakes happen; this makes people feel scared, so they repent, give up sins, pray to Allāh and feel regret [for their sins].

When there had been an earthquake, some of the Salaf said: Your Lord is warning you.

When Medina was struck by an earthquake, ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattāb addressed the people and said:

“If there is another earthquake, I will not stay here with you.”

The house : YO WHY IS THIS WAY TOO LOUD?!!??!

[Bigbaymonstermare]

I never get the screaming thing. After years of riding horses, screaming upsets them and to be frank, upsets me too.

Don’t scream in an emergency. It’s proven that it raises adrenaline, it increases stress and causes people to act irrationally. Stay calm, take a deep breath if you want to scream and think about your next steps. Those freaking out about emergencies are likely to cause the next one.

When kids fell off horses and for other sports (I took some modules at a Sport Canada seminar as part of my requirement to become certified to coach), they tell you that you getting upset and rushing over in a panic can cause them to cry or cry harder or move suddenly which could add to their injuries and raise stress levels. If you move swiftly but quietly and be positive, the kids or even adults that are injured will likely be calmer, think their injuries aren’t that bad and relax and let you do your thing and apply first aid.

So to all you screamers and those that freak out in situations, please, next time, as you’re about to freak out, remember my words and instead of immediately screaming, take a deep breath, look around you, find the safest option, help another if it’s safe for you to do so, and keep your mouth shut for anything but breathing and asking if anyone else is okay. I beg you. It helps the entire situation.

[sophiengoyi]

It dosent look like it thats bad and people may look sramatuc, but the amount of pressure and danger that put them on was the reason why they all ran at first, then they actually started running because of the shaking.

We can rise. We have faced worse earthquakes, such as Meknes 7.1, Portugal 9.3, which caused a tsunami that entered Morocco 2 km by land.
