Have you had any close brushes with death? Fortunately for me I haven't. The closest perhaps if there's any would be my rock climbing adventures as a kid.

There was once, there was a quake in our area there were no predictions as such. Though the epicenter was quite far but the tremors took our breaths away. Every thing swayed hard, we all were having nausea kind of feeling. It was there for few minutes but that fear will stay in our minds for ever.

i think that would be time when out place had an intensity 7 earthquake. i was still too young that time, that was year 1990. and everytime there is an after shock and predictions about earthquakes, i really can't help but to feel so afraid.
