There were two earthquakes that hit Delhi just earlier today starting at 12:41 A.M. India time. One earthquake came an hour after the other, and people in Delhi, especially the National Capital Region, felt the tremors. On the Richter's scale, the first one was a 3.1, and the second one was a 3.3 earthquake. The earthquakes lasted about three to four seconds. People from neighboring cities, Noida and Ghaziabad, also felt the big tremors. These earthquakes caused many people to leave their homes, due to being scared. Some said it was the biggest earthquake they ever felt. The Indian Meterological Department are still trying to figure out where the epicenter of the earthquakes were and analyzing their data.
What effect do you think these earthquakes had on the people in Delhi?
Did the government respond to the earthquakes fast enough? And if it was a bigger earthquake, would they be ready to deal with the consequences?
