Earthquake

This news shocked me today - weak earthquakes  (3.0 Richter scale) felt in Kuala Pilah.

Sunday 29.11.09  : 1st quake 2.30 pm   
Monday 30.11.09 : 2nd quake 12.15 am, 
3rd quake 9.10am, 
4th quake 2.30pm epicentre 22km east of Seremban.   (the difference is there is an epicentre here, not just a tremor....is there a crack in the earth crust down below here?.)

Bukit Tinggi in Pahang also suffers from tremors or earthquakes for the past few years.  Residents has complained of plates and crockery rattling in their kitchen the past few years but because of the presence of a holiday resort, it is seldom reported in the news.

Sooner or later more of Malaysia will come under the earthquake zone.  Even now in my area, tremors are felt in the high-rise apartments each time Sumatra quakes and residents got to leave their homes. O dear, the earth is shaking underneath my house though I dont feel it.  Is that why there is a crack in my front yard?  Ooo...not funny.
