aftershocks arent as sever as an actual earthquake, but be aware of your surroundings for the time being. i can't offer much help seeing as how i'm not that knowledgeable over earthquakes
Hmm about 6 months geleden a huge earthquake happened in some desserts but hopefully nobody got injured of anything because it was somewhere so far away from where people lives but it was so huge that we felt it completely and it was so terrifying everything was shaking and I was laying on my bed and my bed was shaking too, it lasted for 30-40 seconden and after that I had a really bad headache ... everyone went outside because they were scared but I stayed at home pagina ^^ After I checked the news it zei the earthquake was 8.5 magnitude that's why we felt it even though it has happened somewhere else.
I have they weren't that large though. I was in School at the time. I felt some shaking and the doors to the classroom were ratling against the door frame, that's when I realized it was an earthquake, wasn't a big one though. However, they say that we're, the place I live in, British Columbia which is in Canada is supposed to be getting 'the big one', we don't know when since they have been telling us that for years. I don't understand how they can predict this, it's like predicting someone's death of the weather, it'll happen when it happens.

Predicting them is pretty easy. From what my nerdy brother tells me, there are these things that lie on top, boven of the ocean to detect it when something is furiosly shaking. That means that a tsunami, torpedo, etc... could happen. There's also this machine in movies, it looks like a huge machine, and at the end/point of the machina is a pen, which moves when something nearby is shaking. So if something's shaking, then the pen records it. u can tell how dangerous it is, door looking at the records.
Tetonic plates lie, I belive just under the Earth's crust, if they verplaats to much they cause an Eathquake. I think the machine your talking about is called a Seismometer which records the power of an Earthquake. Basically your right, predicting exactly when an Earthquake will happen is hard, we can somewhat predict where they might happen based on the placement of the tetonic plates (google fault lines) we basically know some places are meer at risk than other but we can't really tell when an Earthquake will hit before it's already to late to really do much.
I've never felt an Earthquake (isn't that a good thing?) Where I live it's just not very likely for us to ever get large enough Earthquakes that people would take notice.
