go to wikipedia and type in mercalli
so im just sitting here in my room on my computer, minding my own business and i hear this rumbling noise and feel my wall shaking. of course the first thing that pops into my mind is that someone is doing something downstairs or running forcefully up the stairs to yield such a result.
then my chilean friend renato gets online and says “Liked the earthquake? :)” what??? so, i just experienced my first chilean earthquake…and had no idea it was happening. he also told me it was a level 5…
V. Rather Strong: Felt outside by most, may not be felt by some outside in non-favourable conditions. Dishes and windows may break and large bells will ring. Vibrations like large train passing close to house.
