just when i am browsing some 5 mts back i sensed the earth vibrated a little. earthquake in UAE? did any body else felt the vibration ?

maybe it was your neighbor sneezing ?

it was felt in dubai internet city and also all wtc ppl left the building

is anybody dead yet...?

HP did the earth swallow u???!!!

Our guys in Iran said its 6.1 quake. Some friends in NBD and Citibank said their buildings shook enough for management to call it quits for the day - not that they had long left to go anywayz.

no one is dead. it was just a small shake only felt in the northern parts of town. just got off the phone with friends .. its all good ..

In nasar sq. everybody had to evaculate the building.. some of my friends felt the vibrations..
I m so freaked out !

10 people died in Iran.

And in the building where my mother works the windows vibrated about 4 inches back and forth. Scary!

Experts predicted that the Norther UAE is expected to be hit by an earthquake sometime soon.....

I work on the 36th floor of my building and we actually had to hold up against the wall so much it was swinging...

And yes they are predicting a much larger quake soon...

Interesting set of articles.. there might be a quake soon, or maybe not for a long time. Either way, all of UAE is at risk from this

Most of the buildings here are not quake proof. Wonder if its safer in a villa or building.. I read somewhere that low rise structures were suceptible to more damage, but cant make sense of that! Seems the opposite would be true.. or at least you can get out faster!

All i know is... if u start experiencing tremors then before u leave your house, office - switch the main power buttion off.. Do not use lifts.. and go to an open area, not near the sea.. oh yeah... and recite Surah Al zalzeerah.

I was in teh 20'th floor of our building..n i did'nt feel a thin..but teh ladies in our office were screamin..n complained tehy were feelin dizzy..We had to evacuate teh bulding..everybdy were of teh opinion taht the ladies cud feel teh tremors better than gents..cud'nt figure why!!!!!!

teh day was called off after that..

Dodo darling ,

Earth will swallow everyone , today or tomorrow or some other day . It is very sad that just 10 people died in Iran ,i was expecting atleast 15000. CNN must be disappointed too. There is no news like a bad news.

let see how many will people die in UAE.

Choco , why do u not come to Denmark ,its jst 120 minutes from London, we ll visit the home of D-Until

Recite the Surah ,how sweet. The reason why i dont like my fellow muslims because they only think about God in bad time. Everyone start thinking about God as soon as he or she becumz loosers.

God is for the losers? or losers for the God , make your choice

Dear Hp, I just dont wana loose my temper again.. the moderator moves the post to fight clubs, and not everyone has access to it.. therefore how will everyone else know how ignorent you are..

1st off all, we are all Losers when it comes to being a Good Muslim, agreed. But then, what is wrong in calling Allah, when you need Him? and that is at all times, at every step...
& God is for everybody.. thats why your there...loser

People in the ground floor of our building didn't feel a thing. i think the more higher u reside, more u feel the vibrations.

and jag, i think only high rise buildings are more at risk and not vice versa !!! atleast we can run fast out of the buildings in case of a low building

Well admin usually move the topic to "dogs club" .Though he doesnt understand the knowledge fights.Every day he appears online before sleeping and where-ever he notice " red text" ,he either delet it or send it to somewhere else. I ll sue him for hurting my feeling.
