No
Hey! I thought I imagined it!
i didnt feel anythin’, but my facebook flooded with status’s of ppl who felt it !!
Yes i did. And the water I my drain pumped up like hell
It nearly impossible to have one in Kuwait ???
It seems that have only hit the Salmiya region… our office, AUK, and home felt it.
Indeed, it lasted over 20 seconds.
@NewEarthquake 5.7 earthquake, southern Iran. Sep 27 2:52pm at epicenter (14m ago, 88km W of Shiraz, depth 35km). https://j.mp/bbjo3W
I think I was outside at the time and didn’t feel anything.. !

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.
@ Rita: I felt in Kuwait City, and a friend of mine felt it in Mangaf, so its definitely not only Salmiya.
Yep I did…..but thot it was a gush of wind swaying the high rise.

salmiya and salwa and it was for about 20 seconds.
and it was moving like circles swinging
my frend did felt it…her office is located in kuwait city…

@Ramez, how come I didn’t feel it in Mishref while I was outside, it is so close to salwa!
felt it here in Hawally.
yup…felt it here in the free zone…
seems that i have to stop working too much as i didnt feel anything in the stock exchange buidling
@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!
felt in sabhan , jleeb and farwaniya
yes i did,here in Hawally
@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.
I was in Salmiya and felt it…:(
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.
According to this guy, all those sluts in Iran are to blame for this. 😀

No I didnt feel it. It has happened quite a few times in past and I never seem to feel it. Damn IT! 😀
Mathai: Damn women!
yep.. I live near by Amman street and it was INTENSE over here :O
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…!!
Totally felt it! The table, PC screen, and plant next to me started shaking!
yes..im sitting inside my office then suddenly i noticed my chair was shaking. weird! i thought i was just dizzy or something..
Also my chair!
it was there for a while I felt it in Salmiya, Kuwait
also my dog and my 5 months son felt it :p
@FYI I agree!
I felt a little shake, live in Deiya.
Yes i did
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..
for the benifit of all of us who missed it this time, humble request to those good women to strut their stuff once more
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 😛
@Lloyd: ROFL, maybe they will.
Wake me up when the big one hits.
KAAAAAAAAK !!
today we were in class and the projector started shaking , the prof * as a joke * said , we are having a third level earthquake . he is Japanese , they sense these things -.-

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 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.
