There was a 7.6 magnitude earthquake early this morning in Pakistan. I was getting ready to sleep, around 9 am, when it hit Lahore...See, we were sleeping in the common room which has AC (our individual rooms don't have AC)...It was me, my roomie, and 3 other people sleeping there. We were sleeping on mattresses put on the ground, and I had put my mattress right next to my roomie's. All of a sudden, it seems like the bed is shaking cause my roomie is shaking his leg. Then I think, "Wait, I'm not on a bed!" And I jolt upright confused, at first think I think maybe I'm dizzy. Then I see that the whole room is moving to and fro...like swaying in a light breeze, about 2 or 3 inches. By that time my roomie and the other guys sleeping there had also woken up. And my roomie was sort of confused, and I told him, "Dude, it's an earthquake." Anyways, it wasn't very severe in Lahore, and we all fell back to sleep afterwards. There were a couple of minor aftershocks as well. My roomie, being the best pervert of the world 
(he just told me to type this), told me just as the quake ended that he thought that I had thought that everyone had fallen asleep, and had taken advantage of the fact and [bad advice from your roommate: text deleted ~ Moonbear]! 
The earthquake's epicenter was 80 km northeast of Islamabad (that's 50 miles). A ten story apartment building collapsed there and only the top 3-stories remained intact. 
In Peshawar, which is very near the Afghanistan border, and where my family lives, there were more than 9 strong aftershocks, and people died there too (thankfully my family is OK, my mom made everyone run out of the house as soon as it hit...but nothing happened to the house either). My dad's gone to Japan for a week for a medical conference, so he wasn't there...but he just emailed me asking if I was alright. I found out all this after I woke up (a few min back)...over a thousand people dead in Pakistan, and entire villages have been wiped from existence in Kashmir and the Northern Areas. It's the biggest earthquake ever in the history of Pakistan Please pray for the people affected...
