"Powerful Earthquake Hits Myanmar, But No Deaths Reported the Day After...
A 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck the Asian nation of Myanmar Wednesday night, but officials were cautiously optimistic that the powerful shaking didn't result in any deaths.
The tremor was a deep 83.7 miles below the surface, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, with an epicenter located 46 miles southeast of Mawlaik and 246 miles north of the capital, Naypyidaw. Because the quake occurred in the sparsely populated jungle, casualties and damage were minimized, the Associated Press said. Southwest of Mandalay, Relief and Resettlement Department Director Sa Willy Frient told the AP nobody in the area was seriously injured, but nine pagodas were damaged."
Earthquakes can cause terrible trauma. Please take care of your family first and be prepared for the worst but plan for the best before helping others. We can all save the world if we do our jobs the best we can be or just be the best person we can within our own competency. We can't control nature, but we can honor and appreciate its beauty and power.
While earthquakes with the power of the one that hit the greater Los Angeles area in January 1994 are rare, smaller earthquakes can interrupt your normal living patterns and cause injury. During a major earthquake, you may hear a roaring or rumbling sound that gradually gets louder. You may feel a rolling sensation that starts out gently and within a second or two grows violent, or you may first be jarred by a violent jolt. A second or two later, you may feel shaking and find it difficult to stand up or move from one room to another. The key to surviving an earthquake and lowering your risk of injury is in planning, preparing and practicing what you and your family will do if it happens."
