Earthquake in NE Iran, Tremours felt in Gulf

Anyone else feel the tremors from the quake in Iran? Happened on the border with Pakistan

This one was pretty noticable, was sitting on the computer when I felt my chair shaking and then noticed a few other things in the room were also shaking.

Hangar roof started shaking so went outside to find out why. All agreed it was a tremor and then watched the teenagers wheel out their training planes from the hangar next door. Had a good laugh and suggested they put them all back. No sweat.

Didn't have to stir my coffee, but only felt a tiny rumble as the missus spent up large at GAP in Mirdiff.
