If you feel like the place under your feet is shaking even when there is no earthquake shake, you are not the only one.
This phenomenon is very familiar in countries that have just experienced a large-scale earthquake (such as the November 26th), or in countries that have not experienced large earthquakes before.
Psychologists explain that this condition of people comes as a result of the trauma and stress they experience after the earthquake.
Even if your country has been far from the epicenter of the earthquake, the feeling of "waving" even when the earthquake is not falling is well known. This earthquake happens in your mind. Our brain's balance system keeps us engaged to analyze all the signals we receive from our ears, eyes, feet and uses this data to process what's going on.
It comes as a result of the fear, stress accumulated during the ordeal, and the human-born instinct to prepare for the next danger.
Something similar can happen to animals, for fear of being triggered. In such cases, the fishermen themselves have in the past shown that the fish have come out of the sea for fear.
