Earthquake in Dubai
September 10th, 2008Thousands of people are being evacuated from high-rise towers in Dubai after an earthquake tremor hit Dubai today. These tremors are from a 6.2 quake that hit Iran and spread to Dubai. The aftershock measured 4.8 on the Richter scale. Buildings all along Sheikh Zayed Road were evacuated after the tremor struck at around 3.00pm, with crowds of confused people flooding out into the street. Buildings were actually swaying from side to side. {Read more}
This is a video on YouTube, doesn’t show any swaying buildings but shows the people on the streets after evacuating buildings.
