Earthquake in Delhi, morning at 4:43 am

November 26, 2007 into morning and my rather interesting and strange sci-fi dream (missile silos with mobile robotic launchpads, snow, smart bombs and next gen vehicles) was broken last night when I woke up to tremors. Me and my fiance were getting ready to move downstairs into the open when the tremors stopped. They went on for like maybe 7 seconds.

This is the strongest earthquake I've ever felt. It measured 4.3 on the Richter scale. There was no damage around Delhi, Gurgaon or Noida but it did remind me that we're nothing in front of mother nature.

I read up on some articles about earthquakes and Delhi. It seems Delhi is an earthquake prone zone where earthquakes can happen anytime. Here's a highlight out of an article at the Geospatial Resource Portal.

The region with intensity less than V is designated as Zone 0. Thus, the designation of area as seismic Zone V indicates activity. Delhi is located in zone IV which has fairly high seismicity where the general occurrence of earthquakes is of 5-6 magnitude, a few of magnitude 6-7 and occasionally of 7-8 magnitude. Delhi thus lies among the high-risk areas.
