   Quite strong for Bulgaria and medium in strength for other parts of the world. I understood something that there were tremors in Italy ..

   Haha yes. We had 5, 7 (we are relatively close to the epicenter of the earthquake). It was scary. Half of my plush toys from the shelf above me fell on my head. ; d My mother panicked, half of the block went outside ... but we are fine, no one was injured, although we felt 3 more tremors after that.

   Yes, we felt it. My heart would jump out when I realized what was happening ... but we didn't go out, we didn't even go out of the rooms to talk to my relatives ... I felt both scared and lonely at such a moment.

   Maybe I will never be the same ... I experienced such horror, and all of us .... In Ovcha Kupel everyone was outside, my little child was sleeping, he didn't feel anything, and the big one got scared .... Everything was swaying, the ficus she was swaying to the last leaf, and the cat, terrified, covered itself somewhere ... I hugged my children tightly and prayed that it would end sooner. A vase from the section fell, the books and glasses had moved forward from the quake ... I thought it unnecessary to run left and right like crazy ... whatever is written, such. May we all be alive and healthy and may fate protect us !!! I never slept that nightmarish night ... well, they were all tremors, at 4.30, at 5. 14, at 6. 23, that at 7 there was a slight ... whether because I was scared, but I felt them and the last .. I live on a high floor, luckily for me I'm not at work today, I'm resting .... In front of my block I think about how people will work,

   Hello! I am from Plovdiv and I felt it. As I slept, a loud rocking woke me up. It was 03:04. during the night, our entire apartment swayed sharply left and right, and the window blinds slammed shut. I wonder exactly how many tremors there were to wake me up, I felt three, the strongest that woke me up and two weaker ones, barely perceptible, and who knows how many more there were to wake me up! I was very scared ...

lolakayy22 answered · October 28, 2020

   I didn't feel the first one (I had slept like a slaughtered animal), but my mother and father stormed into my room, got me out of bed and told me there was an earthquake. We went under the front door and wondered if we should go outside, as they had done most of the two blocks. The lamps swayed very loudly. I was very scared then, I realized that it was 5.6 on our Richter / we are close to the epicenter of the earthquake /. Half an hour later we went to bed, but I was still terrified. Later we felt the second quake / I only felt 2 /, which was lighter, but still I jumped out of bed and went to sleep with my mother. It was scary, I hope it doesn't happen again.

   Hello, shaken compatriots! Did it shake you hard? Rejoice, because it could have been much worse! I think it would be better to shake us a little so that we read less often topics like "I don't know what to do", "I don't know what I want" and "I'm sorry I didn't kill myself". Health, good mood and have a nice day everyone!

lisset_rosse answered · October 31, 2020

   In fact, I woke up until about 2 o'clock, I barely fell asleep, the earthquake was felt in my city at about 3 o'clock (I don't sleep deeply) and if it weren't for all the noise, I wouldn't have known about it. The most interesting thing was that I kept saying to myself all day that something was going to happen, that there was no way, and so the day passed, the evening came and I slept through the event; Otherwise, acquaintances say that they were startled, some of their beds were rocking (unfortunately not as they wanted; dd). But for me this is repeated for about 3-4 times, so I do not bother at all. I'm just sincerely glad that there are no injured people, the rest will be fine! Zu-Za

   I am from Sofia and for the first time I feel such an earthquake, I did not even expect. At 3 I felt my bed shaking - it is high, there are stairs and about 140 cm from the ground - I raised my head and in a dream said - stop shaking my bed - why I did not expect an earthquake, then suddenly it occurred to me that there is no one to shake my bed and I raised my head again I looked around, I realized that there was an earthquake and I got up, I left the room and saw mom and dad coming out of the other room and while I was watching and going outside the earthquake stopped, then I said again above followed the second earthquake, I was scared !! We live on the 2nd floor, how the people on the 17th or some other high floor felt! SIS

   I'm from Pernik ... At 01:00 in the night I woke up suddenly with a terrible heartbeat and high blood pressure, and I had no reason for that ... I took a pill and seemed to recover a little, but the heartbeat and tension remained ... I was just I started to fall asleep and at 3 o'clock I heard a terribly loud noise, as if a huge bomb had exploded in the apartment below us and it was as if someone was breaking the walls of the block! Everything in the room was not swaying, but SHAKING in different directions, and plaster was falling over our heads, objects were flying everywhere ... At that moment my husband and I both jumped out of bed and instinctively grabbed one child, he grabbed the other and as we were in our pajamas, we ran up the stairs, and just down in front of the entrance I saw that the child was in socks ... Then we spent the morning in the car like most people .... The fear and stress are incredible!

hornyxmuscle answered · November 01, 2020

   Basically, to wake up in the morning, I wind up to 2-3 alarms of music on the computer, which turns on at a certain time. Consider how deep I sleep! Add to that the fact that I hadn't slept the day before, and that I didn't get to bed until 12:00. And yet I woke up. Everything was shaking, even a massive cupboard just above my bed, big enough to at least knock me out if it accidentally crashed on me. I was looking at this cupboard, I was looking at it ... I thought: "Should I run? But I will have to get up ... fuck. Where will I run without it, and in this cold and bare ass? to die! "Then the earthquake gradually subsided. I could still feel the vibrations in my body. I thought, "Oh, I'm still alive! I won't be able to sleep after this adventure ..." Five minutes later,

   Hello. And we in Veliko Tarnovo region felt it. I live in a village, about 40 km. from Veliko Tarnovo, but it also felt quite good with us. My bed rocked, various things began to move on the ceiling, and there we have old furniture - small cabinets, various wooden boxes, carpets, old broken chairs. I live in a house and when I went outside there were no damage, like cracks in the walls, it still felt weaker than in Sofia and Pernik, but it STILL felt it. Enough to scare her. :( God bless us, people. Pray. :(

   I sleep like a stump, years ago a bomb exploded next to us, I slept with an open window and I didn't wake up, but last night's earthquake woke me up. The whole bed shook very hard. The bad thing is that now, although I know that it is not logical to have other strong tremors, standing on the bed I constantly have the feeling that it is shaking, and it is not really happening, because even the tremor at 20 I did not feel it. When I hear a noise, when I shake something, I immediately think about it ....

   Hello, I am also in the Lagera residential area on the 4th floor. I was awakened by my sister, who cried out, and then I felt the swing. At the first moment, when I woke up and realized, I wasn't very scared, but then I heard various things falling, something breaking, it seemed to me that the chimney also fell (I looked after it didn't seem to have fallen). I jumped out of bed and ran to the door frame, the lamp swaying in a circle. Vases and books had fallen out. Interestingly, only one vase broke. But at the moment I didn't notice anything, I immediately put on a vest over my pajamas, got dressed, grabbed the first jacket from the hanger, the phone and the bag and ran to take my father out while my mother and sister prepared that he was walking slower. The stairs fell in a hurry, but it was a slight fall, it got up and we quickly got out. Everything was like a dream. We went to the car and took it out into the open and stayed there until 7 in the morning. As we stood inside twice, the car shook terribly, I never imagined it felt so strong in a car. Only at 7 we came home exhausted and sleep deprived, we had breakfast at work. I also barely slept that night. My heart was pounding so hard I felt like everything was shaking. I thought it seemed to me, but today I read that there were 3 earthquakes, as it seemed to me. I still haven't slept. And at work I go up the stairs on foot, I'm afraid to use an elevator. There were 3 fallen chimneys on the next block. Good thing there are no casualties. I hope things calm down soon, it's a big tension.

   I don't think I've moved all night, I slept like a blast. It wasn't until the morning that I woke up and went to the kitchen to eat, and at one point I listened to our conversation. They had felt it, even got up and shook slightly, and the bed was moving, but I did not feel anything. Then at school this was the topic of the day: Did you feel the earthquake? B-No. A-How so insensitive you are. Q-I felt it, at one time .... D-I didn't feel anything D-Eee, are you still talking about this earthquake?

crystal_lopes answered · November 03, 2020

   I went to bed at 1:30. I suddenly wake up with a rumble, as if a wall had fallen. I open my eyes and watch as at that moment the wardrobe opposite opens and I notice that my bed is also rocking. For a few seconds I didn't realize it was an earthquake, and I shuddered at what the hell it was. Getting out of bed I go to the lamp to turn it on and sway. I lit it as I was leaning with one hand on the wall, I feel vibrations. I called my roommates in the other room. I said: People, there is an earthquake, let's move (we are on the 4th floor). But they were lying in bed and didn't work hard. Down in front of the block you have an awful lot of people. After about half an hour I decided to try to sleep. I just turned around, turned off the light, and tried to calm down and feel a second tremor. Horror! It was a nightmare! I never blinked. I went straight to work. And the strangest thing is, that I wasn't afraid of the block collapsing or anything. I was frightened by the creaking of the furniture and the rocking of the bed. It's as if something supernatural is coming at me. If I had felt it during the day, I would not have been so startled. But to wake up this way ... And when I saw that it was 3:00, I panned even more. Usually, in horror movies at 3:00 different things happen ... I hope it never happens again !!! F25

   Once again, I was convinced that if there are no panicked people, everything will go easier. But ... of course, everyone was flying left and right, scared, shaking, you would say that a bomb was falling ... Ha-ha ... It affected me badly, not so much the quake itself. What to do - nature ... Such things happen! Alive and well everyone :) Do not be afraid :)))

mia_and_junior answered · November 03, 2020

   I am from Pernik. This is the biggest nightmare of my life. Only by closing my eyes and experiencing the first tremor again. A nightmare. Horror. I was in bed at 1:30 and at 2:58, shaking the first 20 seconds, I didn't know what was going on. I remember how the flowers fell to the floor and the parrots flew into the cage, but I was most horrified by that specific hum that is more sinister than the tremors themselves. Then I heard my mother scream. It wasn't even a scream, but something like a cry of horror, and I just can't describe it to you. My parents and I waited under the door frame and then went outside. Grandparents, who live on the first floor of the house, also came out. My grandmother had turned pale and just repeated "oh I'm sick oh I'm sick" then fainted outside on the street. My father got her in the car and they went to the ambulance - and there was hell. All the doctors and nurses who can go out, no one dares to come in to see. They only measured the grandmother's blood and sent her back home. Thank God he's fine. I don't think about those sick people who can't walk what they went through in this hospital. They came back and we all stood on the sidewalk on a bench. Neighbors and they all out. Quite strong aftershocks followed - everything screams and hugs and horror in general. My father and grandfather went home several times to bring clothes to dress. My parents left by car for work at 4:30 and I was left alone with my grandparents. At one point they went to look for something in the yard and I was left alone. It was raining heavily and everyone got back in the cars, only I was standing outside. A neighbor's family, with whom we are supposedly close, got stuck in the car and they didn't look at me. I don't blame them, of course, everyone is trying to save themselves. In such cases, friendships "evaporate". Other neighbors (whom I barely know) sheltered me in the car until the rain stopped. And so it dawned. A wait began. We didn't dare go home until 12 noon. I couldn't stop shivering all day. In the evening we went to a nearby village where there is something like a van. My grandmother slept in it, and my parents and I stayed in the front of the car. This is the second night. You remember how much we slept. My mother is at work today, I don't know how she will make it if she hasn't slept for 2 days. I'm very worried people, very much. Even now, as I write and remember, my heart tightens. We are on non-stop thorns whether it will not shake again. I am very scared - with every second quake I fall into some kind of horror. Tonight we intend to sleep in the house, but I don't know how long I will be able to close my eyes. I will be afraid to sleep at home for a very long time. In such moments one realizes how pitiful and powerless he is. How fragile human life is. You also realize that the things you have been worried about and angry about are so stupid and pointless. Oh god, shake again as I write. I get up in horror and leave. Squeeze your thumbs to get everything right. xperia

   Xperia, you are very right about everything ... And I realize how strong nature is, how small and fragile we are all ... I, although I am from Sofia, have been totally insane for 3 days. Everything shakes, when I squeak I jump and run to find out which of my pets is causing my heart to beat. After the first earthquake of the day, my friend and I calmed down, drank a bottle of white wine and fell asleep, as I had not slept after the nightmare, sleep was sweet. I just fell asleep in the evening, it shook again, my nerves too .. On the 9th floor it is an attraction ... I sleep with my clothes for two nights, although I have nowhere to run from the 9th, but for my peace of mind, and my little child sleep with me. Well, last night it was calm, I fell asleep, and these days I'm at work, I won't, I have to sleep. There are 1-2 cracks in the entrance of my block in Ovcha Kupel, a neighbor from another entrance also said that she also has them, and inside her apartment.
