Bukavu (Democratic Republic of the Congo)

We spent our night in the open, fearing that the walls falling on us, tremble so much where we were. Towards Birava, there is a place known for being the epicenter of seismic activity. We meet often holes of about ten meters after such seismic activities. There are no active volcanoes near Bukavu. Mount Kahuzi is off. 0

I was deeply asleep only to wake up due to the shaking of my bed and that strong sound. I turned off my phones but my hand became paralyzed there and then and I felt some electric power passing through it. This lasted for some few seconds and I thought I was gonna get a strong harm on my hand. Think there is a form of electric connection with the earthquakes0
