      @ What I felt. I was watching TV. and live in Josiah's Bay. I felt the weak shaking at first. Then it hit hard and lasted about 12 seconds, then about 4 seconds with a mild ending. It shook my building, and I was about to run outside then it stopped. It is all according to where you live, if you feel it stronger or milder.

    All by design. Nothing is natural all disasters are from mankind. When you don't think you are dumb. Yes u have a home you build for your children...would you just destroy it for no reason? What reason does the Almighty Creator have to destroy his world. The gods of this Earth is ALWAYS doing destruction which comes from the devil. Since you believe in the Bible it's says be fruitful and multiply,so why is the gods running this Earth doing depopulation by COVID-19 vaccine? When you believe in everything your told you will get destroyed. Movie now a days are about vaccines, nanotechnology, AI, depopulation and chip in brain. When will you wake up
