September 10th, 2008 at 03:30pm ibrahimo

Tremors were felt at around 3:00pm Dubai local time, at first I thought it was only me but I confirmed it with family and friends. It lasted few seconds, but sure felt as minutes. The source is a 6.1 magnitude earthquake in Bandar Abbas in Iran. In Dubai tremors were felt most heavely in tall towers.

    hey,
    I felt the earthquake too all the way in Sharjah. After all the news about the earthquake in Sichuan, China, I was terrified for what could happen to me.

    It was a good thing it was only a shock, but I hope everyone in Iran, where the main part of the quake was, is okay.
