I am also in Moscow and I call bullshit on this.
- cema 13y agoWhy? I have heard (I mean, read) people reporting having felt slight tremors. Example ([ru]): http://nina-petrovna.livejournal.com/797021.html http://nina-petrovna.livejournal.com/797021.html
- btilly 13y agoI have experienced plenty of earthquakes where one person felt it quite strongly and another living nearby didn't. How easy it is to feel varies depending on what floor you're on, how well constructed your building is, what kind of ground you're standing on, etc, etc, etc. Furthermore at that distance the earthquake should be a slow roller, which means that someone who is focused on something might not notice while another person in the same room could notice, realize how much motion there is, and freak out. I've been there as well - as the person watching a movie who ignored an earthquake that everyone outside of the movie was quite aware of. So the fact that you live in Moscow and didn't feel it is not grounds to call BS on someone else claiming that they felt it.
