Movimiento fuerte de 5 segundos,

Witness location : Lorca (Spain) (2 km SW from epicenter)

The house is old and solid with many large beams. The noise was terrifying and the movement violent. I have experienced earthquakes of a greater magnitude in Turkey but none felt as violent as this neither was the noise so great. The first earthquake 2 hours previously occured when I was outside and I held onto the wall because the movement was so noticeable. It rattled the gates loudly and they coninued for some time after the movement stopped.

EN EL ANTERIOR TERREMOTO DE LAS 17.05 H. YA COMENTÉ QUE ESTABA DURMIENDO Y ME DESPERTÓ, Y ESTE HA SIDO UN GRAN SUSTO. ESTABA TRABAJANDO SENTADA, Y LA OFICINA EMPEZÓ A TAMBALEARSE FUERTE DURANTE CREEO UNOS 6 SEGUNDOS MÁS O MENOS. NO PARABA Y PARECÍA SE IBA A CAER ABAJO, DE HECHO, SE RAJÓ EL CRISTAL DEL ESCAPARATE ENTERO. YA HE SUFRIDO OTROS TERREMOTOS EN MI VIDA, Y JUNTO CON EL DE 1999 DE MULA (QUE ME PILLÓ EN 6º PISO)HAN SIDO LAS 2 PEORES EXPERIENCIAS DE MI VIDA. DOY GRACIAS A DIOS Y TODO MI ANIMO Y APOYO A MIS VECINOS DE LORCA, ENTRE LOS CUALES ALGUNOS AMIGOS YA HAN PASADO LA NOCHE EN MI CASA EN AGUILAS. FUERZA.

Ich wohne an der Costa Brava, das ist weit  weg vom Epizentrum,südlichen Spanien. Was ich seit gestern bemerkt habe, dass alle Tiere in meiner Umgebung seltsam unruhig waren. Hunde, Katzen,Hühner. Heute morgen sind Hühner aus dem Stall ausgebrochen. Meine Blumen, die phantastisch seit einer Woche blühen haben sich am Mittag, trotz strahlendem Sonnenschein geschlossen. Ich fühle mich mich als hätte ich eine Migräne, noch nie gehabt, und bin furchtbar müde.Habe rote Flecken am Hals, ein Druck wie Kopfschmerzen im Kopf. Ich bin völlilig gesund. Morgens weckt mich eine Nachtigall mit ihrem Gesang (ich lebe im Grünen)weckt. Heute morgen nicht.Starker Sturm und Nebel über dem Meer seit gestern. Jetzt ist es absolut windstill. Stillllll ist alles. Ganz unheimlich.
