I did :)
I felt it in Shaab Al Bahri, it was for like at least 8 to 10 seconds.
The bed was shaking and i woke up, i thought i was dreaming until i read this post !
Same here, i thought something is wrong with me….
Is Q8 an active earthquake region??
I felt it..But When I woke up in the morning, turned on the t.v to see if it was real or a dream..found nothing..but now that you mention it..the bed was moving for almost 5 seconds.
I was up but didn’t feel it. Even earthquakes in kwt are weak and lame LOL
“So an earthquake hit Kuwait and I missed it”
You would rather be running out of a crumbling building? lol.
Let us thank God that we don’t have to face what the Peruvians are going through right now.
BTW, not listed here…

OK. I stand corrected. I was looking at 18th. The quake happened on 17th UTC.
It happened on the border with KSA, and there are joint oil operations there. Perhaps one of either is trying to move the oil to them ;p
I was sleeping and didn’t feel it!
I was on my chair browsing internet and felt it was shacking slowly and very slightly for like 2-3 sec, I immediately looked at the clock and it was 1:47. Woot I have experienced an earthquake for the first time in my life :D
it lasted a lot more than mere seconds.
it must have lasted for a minute.
it took me a while to realize what was going on but when i did, i moved away from my window coz it was shaking, and i had to move the glass of water from the night table since it was also shaking and was going to fall off.
Kuwait is not an active earthquack region.
Earthquack lool…. earthquake
Who said Kuwait is in an Eartquacke region?! I am really interested in knowing this persons educational and professional background. I would love to see his/her justification and explanation on this.
Kuwait might recieve a slight after shocks from regions close by (like Iran…etc.) and even when oil is produced, it will be replaced by water (Mother nature’s act).
Im still insisting to know what was the reasons behind a comment suggesting Kuwait is under a tectonic plate or on top of an earthquake region.
Earthquake even lol..Anonymous infected me with misspellingitis.
Mark, go check on your wrangler, who knows you might find it under the ground.
I dreamed it =/
We had a short one here in the Carolinas (USA). I slept through it but heard of it the next day. Just shakes..no destruction.
My experience :)

i felt it .. and i posted about it
Whoa, dude I think I felt it too. Around the same time (3:30 am), I was laying on my tummy on the bed watching TV. I felt my bed going back and forth but I thought I was tripping (dismissed it as hallucination). It was wierd, but I can see how it can kill you if it were much stronger :D.
It was at 1:45am ish. alot of my friends felt it.. i was watching rush hour 3 pirate dvd.. didnt feel it in shamiya. :) i missed it.
This doesn’t actually sucks. This calls for attention I never heard we had earthquakes before.
Actually, what I really regret missing is watching Mark fall of his bike and get owned.
hehe i was watching “the holiday “…wen it hit:p it was soo cool
Faber-Castellِ that was like last year dude, i don’t a video of me falling off the bike but I do have pictures taken after.
omg ! i thought i was dreaming lool
it real then hehe ..
my made this morning told me did u felt it !
i told her no maybe something out lol, she said no madam i felt it and i was afraid !
Are kuwait’s establishments (buildings,malls) built for earthquake? one scary shi*t..
I cant Believe that a day after, no one even bothered to mention that Kuwait had a 4.6 earthquake. Is it Haram to mention such a thing?
What are you talking about?
i read in the news paper today that they r expecting another earthquake soon ….
No more earthquake pls… lets all pray.
Was there another one this morning? Thought I felt another one.
Get this… I was watching 1408 with the lights out all huddled up on my chair. I felt my chair sway and I freaked… but then I thought it may have been my nerves. Didn’t realise it was the earthquake till I read this post.
