In general, where I live in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, we don't have a lot of disasters in our country because we live in a safe country where we have beautiful trees that protect us. However, I remember the most tragic disaster I have ever experienced, which was an earthquake that was really frightening at the time. Our country is not prepared for such accidents, and it was very scary for me and for all the local people. It's one of those days that all Azerbaijanis remember. This happened about 15 years ago, but I still remember it vividly. I was only two years old, so it might seem like I wouldn't remember, but I do. It affected me deeply because it was my first significant experience in my life. I was in shock, a little confused, and scared because I have a big family, including my mother, father, and my two older sisters, along with our dog. We were so scared that we had to leave the house with just our essentials and go out into the street. It affected me so much that sometimes I recall that day as one of my scariest memories. I don't remember all the details, but this earthquake was about 7.0 on the Richter scale. It didn't occur directly in Azerbaijan but near Goychai, which is the second city in Azerbaijan, and it affected us a little bit.
