malaks yung lindol kanina, ramdam na ramdam dito sa Dammam.

Massive quake hits Iran-Pakistan border, scores killed, hundreds injured (yahoo news).

- The massive magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck at about 9.44am (GMT)
- ABC News have described the quake as the strongest in more than half a century
- More aftershocks are expected
- Iran's President says the country is facing a 'complicated emergency situation'
- The epicentre was in southeast Iran in an area of mountains and desert, 201 km (125 miles) southeast of Zahedan and 250 km northwest of Turbat in Pakistan, USGS said.

A massive earthquake has struck the border region of Pakistan and Iran, sending tremors across the Gulf and South Asia. Five people have been confirmed dead in Pakistan, but there is confusion in Iran with some sources initially claiming 40 people died.

Iranian officials have played down these claims, saying no deaths have been confirmed in the country following the quake

Pakistani media showed images of buildings shaking in Karachi.

The massive magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck at about 10.45am GMT. Local press reported that the earthquake was 15.2km (9.4 miles) deep.

It is the second time in a week that the region has been hit by tremors; the last quake struck south-west Iran on April 10 killing 37 people and injuring 850, and devastating infrastructures. It hit very close to Iran's only nuclear power plant.

British newspaper The Guardian likened Tuesday's 7.8 quake to the 2008 Sichuan Province, China, earthquake that killed an estimated 68,000 people.

In the UAE

In Dubai, the streets filled up with people and traffic as skyscrapers were evacuate, including the world's tallest tower, the Burj Khalifa.

As people stood on the streets waiting for some guidance many took to online social forums.
“Loads of buildings in Dubai Media City evacuated after earthquake,” tweeted Ben Flannagan.

“Dubai is shaken by its second earthquake in a week. The epicentre of last week’s was in Iran, this one felt much closer, evacuations underway,” Gary Meenaghan added.

Maysa, who works in Dubai’s Media City, said she ran down 40 floors. "The desks started shaking and there was an evacuation call to action so we came down. It was for a couple of seconds, maybe five."

Rozelle who works on the 45th floor of a Dubai Media City tower, said: “I don't know what time it happened. I didn't feel it as I was busy but my colleagues told me that it was shaking that's when I realised it.

"When we heard the announcement to evacuate we just ran down the stairs as the lift was full.”

Rest of Gulf

The BBC Online website quoted Michael Stephens, a researcher at RUSI Qatar, as saying from his office in Doha: "I definitely felt the walls shaking. It lasted for about 25 seconds."

Yeah nadinig ko nga sa news. It's probably connected with Iran. They say it was so strong, it was the first time in 40 years na magkaron sila ng ganito kalakas.

Hope you guys are all alright.
