So, I came into Mexico, to be specific to Mexico City, the Sheraton Maria Isabella Hotel and Towers for a customer engagement on behalf of my Office, WSO2 Inc. I had another friend of mine (Amila) with me.
Because of the customer work we are more or less alive on the whole night, to get the required scenarios working. My friend went into sleep on this specific day, which is 30th of June 2010 at around mid night, but I was still working. My laptop was on my bed and suddenly I felt my laptop going away from me and coming back to me :-) With that I also felt like some God is shivering the multi story building, on which we were on the 6th floor.
I stood up and still the building was like a pendulum. I realized this is a Earthquake apparently it is of 6.2 magnitude. :-( After about 5 minutes the building settled, and later I found that, that building is designed to move like that in an earthquake.

Funny this was that we were chatting online when this happen :D
Yeah, it was an exciting experience.
Good that you guys were in a floating building. This reminds me of your old bus incident.
Yeah, but the bus accident is way more exciting than this.
Did you take cover?
I also experienced the earth quake 2/3 weeks ago here in Sri Lanka. It only lasted for 15 or 20 seconds. Anyway for that little time, I was feared my home is collapsing down. So I can think how it is like in a multi story building and for 5 mins :)
No, I think this building is designed to these sort of earthquakes
What happened to Amila ayya? Was he still asleep during the Earthquake (which shook the building) ? :D
Anyway it's good to hear that you guys are alright.
He didn't knew it till the morning :-)
