I did!! I thought I was feeling dizzy or something.
I was sitting on a chair playing my guitar when I felt it. I thought it was an earthquake and called my mom, but she didn’t believe me. Not until my neighbour verified it. Lasted around 25 seconds.

@AbdulAziz- I remember we have had a few tremors in the past few years in Kuwait and re it being impossible here, I also remember reading a seismic report/article a while back that wondered if all the drilling here was not dangerous so near to the Iranian fault line.
Nothing habibi is impossible!

@Rita I was home when the quake struck and I reside in Mahboula. So I think the quake was well spread out.
@Sallom You cant actually feel an earthquake when you are outside if it is a very small one especially if you are already moving. Like if you were in a car or walking<<– but that's as far as I know.

what’s scary is the earthquake’s proximity to Bushehr (nuclear plant); and after reading about the Stuxnet virus going through Iran’s computers it seems like a recipe for disaster.

I was in the office in Kuwait city when I felt it… I thought that I was dizzy from work!!! My desk was slightly moving. A colege then verified that it was an earthquake…!!

yes..im sitting inside my office then suddenly i noticed my chair was shaking. weird! i thought i was just dizzy or something..

I did not feel it, but my colleague felt. 5.7 is not a great quake to reach kuwait from Iran crossing the waters… anyways… its bit scary… if they get hit at a higher level, it might be a bigger problem for the refineries here..

I was sitting on my bed.. felt it… when downstairs… and asked my sons if they felt it… THEY THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY… MY WHOLE BED SHOOK.. THE CHANDELIERS WHICH ARE QUITE HEAVY WERE BOTH SWAYING A BIT.. MY BED MOVED ABOUT HALF AND inch to and fro which is alot ..

Having lived in California I know what a quake is as I have experienced a few large ones… and I have experienced a 4.0 here in Kuwait before…

IT IS ALWAYS INTERESING…

I felt it in Kuwait City, but my husband in Salmiya didn’t! Was on the phone immediately, asking all and sundry 😛

Some country might’ve used THE “Natural Disasters Weapon” on Iran .. Many ppl around the world are questioning whether such weapon exists or not .. But after the earthquakes in haiti, iran, and other natural disasters around the world in such short time ..
Makes me wonderrrrrr.. :p lol
I find it interesting, google it

I knew it was an Earthquake!! Felt it here in Ahmadi!

My co worker thought it was the fat dude who walked by, guess he was wrong and I was right. Hollaa.

Soooo many people felt it…
I sleep early so that I can get up early and go to work.
If so many people felt it, at what time do they sleep? And what are their office timings???!!!!
