Quake: a seismologist said, repeated element called the danger zone

The consequences of the earthquake in Romania, sunk last night to Ukraine

Tremors felt in nearly all areas, and most of all scared of social media users, who in two nights haven't slept yet, says the story TSN. People say that particularly noticeable was the fluctuation in skyscrapers. There in apartments swinging chandeliers, the flowers, shaking the dishes and was moving the doors on the cabinets.

Significantly stirred up Odessa – there tremors reached 5 on the Richter scale. Local residents say that at first did not believe my eyes when I saw the sway of their home. In high-rise buildings, people first thought is they dream or feel bad. In private homes residents ran into the street and waited until the tremors subside. Odessans in General, feel the tremors somewhere twice a year. But the current even accustomed to such quakes scared. Some even rushed to grab the necessary clothes and papers. However, the earthquake quickly stopped, so go down the street people off the skyscrapers did not.

In Zaporozhye the tremors were mostly felt in residential areas and the old part of the city. Constantine says that about two in the morning under the high-rise building was like a powerful wave. Most frightened for the children. "It's not like the tram is close by, from which the building periodically shakes. I had the impression that the house was something wrong. Even for a moment, but there was a feeling that the earth seemed slipping from under their feet", – says the inhabitant of Zaporozhye Konstantin Kulakov.

In Chernivtsi I can see some families ran into the street. Ascolana Rotar still can not move away from the shock – she and her husband only went to bed after two powerful aftershocks got up, picked up her son and ran out of the apartment. Go back dared only in the morning. "Shake the chandelier, the bed is oak, which is heavy. At first we were puzzled, did not understand what was going on. But the instinct of self-preservation won. The first push up to ten seconds lasted," said the woman.

At the head of the Department of seismic danger of Institute of Geophysics, the panic started only in the morning – from the barrage of calls and queues of journalists directly under his house. Alexander KENDZERA keeps repeating that even though the earthquake we happen rarely, this does not mean that Ukrainians can relax. Because almost the entire country is potentially earthquake-prone.

"The strongest seismic forces that may be even on soft ground 9 points, it's South-Western districts of Odessa region. In Odesa is 7 points approximately, and about the same size refers to the Chernivtsi region. Transcarpathia is also a dangerous area, there can up to 8 points to reach," warns the specialist.
