People are still in shock and trembling with fear. They report having heard a loud bang. People who were sleeping quickly ran out of their beds in a panic. Many people gathered around stairs to stay safe and secure from any destruction.
Some people in the areas that felt the earthquake cannot forget the loud noise ringing in their ears. They still have not recovered. Prayers have already started in some mosques located in the areas that felt the earthquake.
