Visakhapatnam: The sound of clinking glasses woke Mohan Krishna up at around 4.20 am on Tuesday.

Initially, he thought it was just another dream but soon he realised that the sound was emanating from the glasses kept a little close to his cot.

“For a split second I felt the tremor too. But then I thought it’s just the usual early morning giddiness I feel at times as soon as I get out of the bed,” the resident of Gopalapatnam reasoned.

It’s only when his mobile phone began receiving alerts on social media platforms, his worst fears have been confirmed.

Even as many were asleep, several parts of Visakhapatnam witnessed tremors that lasted for a few seconds in the early hours of Tuesday.

K Satish Babu, an entrepreneur, sensed a mild jerk when he woke up to get ready for a yoga session.
