On Tuesday at 12:19 pm, while most of our family was in the living room, our apartment started rocking. We've experienced aftershocks from the quake in March for months now.

Thankfully, that was the extent of the physical damage in our apartment. None of us were hurt. We would soon learn though that we were on the outskirts of a much stronger quake than the one in March.
