Wednesday 11th of April 2012 - @ around 14.10 hrs Live Video stream...

Earthquake  occurred at certain places,  could be easily felt in Office.  Could feel some movement, sort of shaking of the ground under the feet.

Place: Mount Road, T.Nagar, Saidapet, Guindy and some other places

Those inside the office realized and as afterthought started moving outside their premises and gathered on roads and infront of building.  There was some fear, though not many exhibited the same.

Clearly no one had any clue as to do what next ! – almost everyother person was seen talking on mobile to dear, near and known persons – conveying their perception and asking others to be safe.

Fortunately, there appeared to be no panic reaction nor spreading of rumours.  Some state that the earthquake was felt throughout the city and in many parts of the State.  The size and magnitude of the quake is not known and it does not appear to have caused any damage.

Chennai houses many old buildings and some flyovers and how safe or how prepared are we – often would have no answers !
