I asked him if he was moving the lounge, started off lightly and then increased in intensity. Glasses began to clang together and a very heavy fireplace even began to sway. People were in the street yelling out "It's still shaking!" I would say it lasted over a minute. I've been living in this part of the world for 2 years and felt a few Earth quakes in that time but this is the strongest and longest by far! Very interesting and a little scary.

S-a simtit destul de bine. A durat vreo 30 de secunde si a fost o miscare de pendulare. Usile se miscau usor in casa ... si cam atat.

Long sway, hanging objects kept swinging for several minutes. Most people I talked to said the same thing - it felt like sudden vertigo.

The first sensation : I was feeling an inner-inside "malaise"
moving wave and after that one I did feel the earthquake. It was amazing as I had passed through many earthquakes (in Romania, Japan, China , Korea, France, Austria ...)

2nd floor. I was sitting at my desk and i felt the chair move under me, a slight left to right movement, which means the wave direction was S to N. I barely felt it for 3-4 seconds and i tought i was just dizzy, but i instantly checked the flowers in my room and they were swaying pretty hard. Also, a hanging candle support kept swaying for about 2 minutes and also the open windows. I felt dizzy for about 2 minutes after realizing it was an earthquake. We are pretty much used to earthquakes in Bucharest, we've had quite a few in past half year, ranging from 3 to 5,5 Richter.

How to live in high-rise, and no one in the vicinity did not feel the earthquake, it means that he was pretty far away.
