My First Earthquake

This morning around 1:30 AM I was awaken by the sensation of my bed shaking. For about 30 seconds it vibrated back and forth, followed by stillness. Indeed, a powerful earthquake (7.6) had hit the Indian Ocean about 257km (160 miles) north of Port Blair in the Andaman Islands. Tsunami warning were issues, but later expired without any occurrences. I'm glad my first earthquake occurred while laying down - safe position in my home. All piled up in a bus or just out there on a chaotic road would have been a potential scary situation.
