Between me and the earthquake

Earthquake.
Jisshin.
Gempa.
Gampo.
Those are terms explaining the nature phenomenon that happen..still happening while I was typing this post and it is almost been two weeks, we the west sumatra's people experience it everyday, from the hardest to the mild one.
I was firstly known e.q. (earthquake) when I was 10 years old, the first day of my arrival in Padang after staying in Bogor for 7 years. I was visiting my aunt's family and having a conversation with them until something was moving under the ground and everything started to shake..
"What's this?" I asked my uncle
"That's okay. It is only an earthquake"
It is only an earthquake. And after my first meeting with the earthquake, I don't know how many earthquake came to my place, because it was coming almost every year.
It is only an earthquake, that before the biggest incidence of Indonesia at year 2004, I sometimes still standing in my room, still sleeping and not realizing that earthquake was coming. I was`made a joke, if the scale not more than 5 Richter scale, I will not wake up from my sleep.
But, it is not just an earthquake until the big tsunami in Aceh at year 2004. Every one in Indonesia is worrying about earthquake because of the tsunami.
At the year 2005, after the earthquake in Aceh, we the west Sumatran was having two weeks earthquake. If I have to depict the ground at the time, It was just like standing on the boat while you sail on the sea. The Scale was from 5 to almost 7 Richter. And you got a chronic headache because the instability of standing on the ground.
At the beginning of 2007, march, there were big earthquake in a day that happened 3 times. I was in the 3rd floor and seeing the ceiling of my operation teather was falling to the floor with my own eyes. I was then visiting Bukittinggi and seeing that the Sianok hill was really changing.
And at the beginning of the Ramadhan until this time, I again feel the weeks of earthquake. Also the first time experiencing the scale of more than 8 richter. I don't know when will it stopping, because everyday it comes to us. And about the tsunami, I hope I never face it during the rest of my life...
Though there is something coming to my mind. After 4 days of the earthquake of March, when I was on my way from Bandung to jakarta, I was seeing a cloud that imitate a tornado on the sky. I was shocked. Because I 've already known due to the Japanese earthquake scientist, this kind of cloud is the sign of an earthquake. So I made the photo of the cloud. though in my heart i was very worried and hope my family in jakarta were just fine if the real earthquake came. Then after a week, I saw the same photo of mine was in the Kartini's magazine and the kartini's journalist was written about future earthquake. And the famoust Indonesian shrink, Mama lauren was said at the magazine that earthquake would come to near Lampung in July.
There wasn't something happening in July.
But there was a big earthquake coming in September 2007 in Bengkulu.
Is it the sign of nature that reminding us?
Maybe..
Geologist said like this, Sumatra island is the most poor island in the world, because basically it is moving about 2 cm every year. It is not strange that earthquake coming to Sumatra every year. Like my uncle said.."It is only an earthquake.."
So, At the end, between me and the earthquake, there is a relationship that will not end up unless I am leaving for Sumatra..
