Residents of Kamchatka spoke about the fear and chaos during the earthquake

Residents of Kamchatka told Izvestia on September 18 that it is extremely difficult to get used to the constant tremors during an earthquake.

"To be honest, it's very difficult to get used to it. I was born here, lived for 66 years, and I know Kamchatka well. It's a pity that the grandchildren have become afraid of all these earthquakes," said one of the locals.

Another eyewitness shared his feelings about the child during the aftershocks.

"Before the earthquake, the cat seemed to give a sign that it was time to get up. Then the rocking started getting stronger and stronger, and all the spray cans and creams fell off my dressing table. It was necessary to pick up the child, open the door and calmly go outside," the woman said.

Residents noted the importance of calm and order during the tremors, despite the fear and destruction they cause.
