#Newsflash (Natural Disaster): Another Earthquake Hits Same Epicentre

Just quarter past midnight, I was about to enter my bedroom when the house starts to shake vigorously.... The way my mom reacted, she made me from calm to panicky. My mum insist of going out of the house, so I advised my sister to accompany my mum down and reminded them not to use the elevators. While I start calling EM EMSU to report of incident. I also update my office to standby in case received any calls on building shaking.
At home left me and dad. My dad woke my neighbour up to alert them that building shaking,
Before I went down, I looked down the kitchen window. I was surprised that not only mom and sis were downstairs. Even other residents of other blocks rushed down to for safety. I calm dad by comforting him that its safe to stay indoor.
I do not want to worry him further as he just been discharged from hospital. Both of us stay indoor and switched on the television for an update.
By then both Mom and sis, back home but mom's face was pale. There was another EARTHQUAKE measuring 8.7 on the Ritcher Scale. The same epicenter where the last TSUNAMI took place.
Gosh, before they could overcome the  earlier trauma, another disaster arise. News informed that 3m high waves were seen off Sumatra at Nias Island. At Nias Island, 1000 were reported dead as they were buried under the rubbles....

Not only Singapore felt the tremor, even the Malay Penisula, Medan (Indonesia) and Thailand too felt it. When will this end?
