I'm living in Beijing and haven't been affected with the earthquake yesterday. I was so curious and asked my friend who lives in Guangzhou, north of China... she said she didn't feel it either. So in China, it just happened around Sichuan, while other countries like Thailand etc was affected.

At 3.30pm today the earth began to shake............. I was having a rest and first the bed began to shake gently. this is not unusual with a lot of heavy traffic past my back door everyday and the blasting on constructions sites but this increased until the boxes on top of my wardrobe began to shake. I got up to have a look outside from my balcony. Buy now the floor was moving enough to convince me that I needed to get out of the building. I quickly checked what I was wearing, grabbed my key, slipped into my thongs and was heading down the stairs with another elderly couple who were wakened from an afternoon nap. Other residents already downstairs were hurrying away from the buildings. Looking up we could see them shaking and debris and dust was falling. Several men were trying to push the gates to the street open -these are padlocked for security reasons but cannot be opened in a hurry. I climbed over the six foot fence wearing a sarong wrap but the elderly and those with babies could only wait until the metal gave way on one of the bolts on the pair of gates. No serious damage, a few first time experiences for some. this was my second earthquake and subsequent tremors.

I was, the floors and ceilings were shaking while I was getting my paychecks, then I rushed from 24th floor down to hall, then out on street.

My extended family live in Chengdu and Deyang, two cities very close to the epicenter. I was worried all yesterday, and have just received word from them that they are all safe. I am overjoyed that they are not hurt, but extremely saddened at the same time by the enormous loss of lives. I hope that the number of casualties will not rise much more.
