It's a twister, it's a twister...

I survived my first earthquake today. 4.8 on the Richter scale. Although the quake was about 200kms from where I live, it did shake the place for 1 or 2 seconds.

There was one yesterday in the same place too, but it was only 2.0 (too small to be felt).

According to one site I found, a 5.0 earthquake has about the same force as the nuclear bomb that was detonated on Nagasaki (LINK)
In 2006, Korea had 49 earthquakes, the largest of which was 3.5 on the Richter scale.
