The news of the strong earthquake around the Madani Island shook the nation. With its epicenter at the central Madani Island, which was known to sit atop a huge faultline, an 8.5 magnitude earthquake could have resulted in a massive destruction or possible collapse of the islands. To everyone's amazement, the entire damages could not equate to the earthquake's intensity. Houses crumbled, trees hewn down, establishments collapsed, but these were not the result Charles and Nelson expected.
