This is not the first time,Penangites have responded the way we did today,when news of the huge earthquake first broke.
Thank goodness,I was on a nature trail when the phone started going nuts.
I cannot imagine if we were amongst one of the thousands trapped in a shopping mall,cowering in fear of the unknown,jostling for a way out from the highest level to the underground carpark,after being bombarded with panic button messages by well meaning friends.
