Kochi rattled by earthquake
Kochi, May 12
Many residents working and
living in high-rise buildings in this Kerala city of Kochi on Tuesday
afternoon were seen scurrying to safety after experiencing an earthquake
that lasted for over a minute.
People at the Kerala State
Housing Board's (KSHB) nine-storey building said that the tremors were
similar to those experienced on April 25.
"I felt my head
spinning. I was here on April 25 also. More or less, it was a similar
feeling," said an advocate who was working with the Solar Scam judicial
commission office, located at the KSHB building.
Sekhar
Kuriakose, an official with the disaster management team, said that a
group of French scientists after the Nepal earthquake had predicted that
there would be a follow up quake very soon.
