Last night I was watching the movie: BELOW and there was a scene in the film when the enemy ships attacks the submarine and the whole boat was shaking for the bombing.....and believe me guys...just at that point of time I was feeling that my mattress was moving or felt like someone is trying to jerking it! At first, I thought that perhaps it was my hallucination or something like that but just then I saw my bedside drinking bottle's water was also shaking! Then I fully understood & believed it's an earth quake!! I live at the roof top room of our apartment building, so I was feeling more or less hopeless at that time...I just ran out from the room and some seconds later it stopped.

After a while our local news channels confirmed the incident.

Here is the details:
A moderate Earth Quake shook northeastern Bangladesh last night. The 4.9-magnitude quake was centred 115 kilometres (70 miles) north of the capital Dhaka at a depth of 5.2 kilometres and struck at 12:51 am (1851 GMT Saturday).

A meteorologist at Bangladesh's Storm Warning Centre said it had measured the quake at 5.6 on the Richter scale, according to local media reports.

Anyways, I highly enjoyed the movie...it'll be on my mind for a quite some time.

Talk about perfect timing. I totally would have freaked out... Happens to me every time the neighbors bang around downstairs while I'm watching a horror movie... And that's not even earth-shaking!

Do you guys get a lot of earthquakes?

No..not at all. But few years ago I have heard somewhere that we are one of the countries that are under high risk of this natural disaster! Already almost every year we are suffering badly by the floods and cyclones , now I wonder if this is going to add to the list then this nation is surely going to face a great threat of survival!
