Felt a slight shake here in Guwahati! It was quick but scary. Good to see the NCS alert came quickly. Everyone should download that BhooKamp app as they suggested.

4.4 is considered mild, but at a shallow depth of 10 km, it can definitely cause some damage to older buildings. My relatives in Udalguri said items fell off shelves. Thankfully no injuries reported.

The precision of the data from the National Centre for Seismology is impressive. Latitude, longitude, depth, time... all shared publicly. This transparency is crucial for disaster preparedness.

We live in a high seismic zone. Instead of just reacting to news, every family should have an earthquake drill plan. Know where to drop, cover, and hold on!

Respectfully, while the alert system is good, the ground reporting feels slow. "Further details are awaited" long after the event shows a gap in local administration's communication. We can do better.
