Earthquake felt in Oman


A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Iran, near the border with Pakistan, at 14:44 Oman time on Tuesday at a depth of 73 miles, reported by the US Geological Survey office (USGS).

The exact location was:

28.056°N 62.080°E depth=15.2km (9.4mi)

some nearby cities:

  1. 86km (53mi) ESE of Khash, Iran
  2. 167km (104mi) NE of Iranshahr, Iran
  3. 199km (124mi) SE of Zahedan, Iran
  4. 237km (147mi) SSW of Rudbar, Afghanistan
  5. 603km (375mi) NE of Muscat, Oman
In interesting instant reports from people around town, it appears it was felt most by people in Ghubra / Azaiba end of town, people in Qurum / Shatti didn't appear to feel the tremors much at all. 

Did you feel the tremor?
