tremors

i encounter my first earth shattering experience as tremors shook parts of Dubai and the Northern Emirates on Wednesday afternoon.
Apparently, they
were the aftershocks of a powerful earthquake that struck Bandar Abbas
in southern Iran, which registered a magnitude of 6.1 in Richter scale (story here). 
Office workers along the high rise strip of Sheikh Zayed Road were ordered to evacuate the building as a precaution.
