This was like blast, like explosion. Did not look like earthquake. I was confused it was like one big explosion with strong blast and another little far away explosion with little blast. I felt blast as I moved to terrace during first wave - explosion - blast - earthquake.

Tutnjava u obliku balvana koji se kotrljau prije samog pocetka njihanja. Njihanje lijevo desno i naprijed nazad pomaka oko 2 do 5 cm . sa blagim pocetkom i krajem. Horizontalni pomaci sa manjim nagibnim osjecajem. Uzeo sam iPad koji je bio predamnom na stolu i izasao pred kucu tj. 4 metra, da snimam ako se nastavi ljuuljanje. Gorela je vanjska ulicna rasvjeta i dvorisne lampe. Ali je ljuljanje stalo. Ukupno ljuljanje je trajalo oko 6 sekundi.
