I looked on a real-time earthquake map and nothing around here except a 4.3 magnitude quake on 16 June, near Akbarabad, Iran... Very mysterious! On the one I looked at there was an earth tremor in RAK this morning http://seismology.ncms.ae/ edited by twilight on 19/06/2012 It is not showing the Australian quake. Is it reliable or am I reading it incorrectly?

My front door shook, opened and no one there. Safa area. It's definitely localised. Just went out and nothing going on anywhere.. it's not anything to do with metropolitan hotel being knocked down? Doing a Fred Dibner on it? That happened to me yesterday around 5.15pm then again about 10 mins later. Door shook and I thought someone rattled it. No-one there when I checked. Second time I thought it must be wind...but there wasn't any. I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it. How freaky is this? Exactly 5:15 and 10 minutes later and today 7 , OMG it might be the construction work around this area!! trying to calm myself down :)))

Could it be like a sonic boom from a Jet ? Yes but again, it seems to have been concentrated area wise. Wouldn't that affect a wider area? I don’t think so. In the concord days you literally only heard it in specific areas. I think its possibly the military testing planes

This is all very bizarre. If it was an earthquake surely all of us would be feeling it, even within a small area i.e. all of us in Umm Sequiem 2. Weird

We are in Umm Sequiem 2 and have felt nothing. They have just opened up 5 stations around Dubai to monitor/record earthquakes. You don't suppose they are testing these stations as these "reported tremors" seem to be bizarre, as in only affecting windows. I'm in Umm Suqeim 2 and most definitely felt it - all 3 times!

I also thought it sounded like something/someone pounding on window. Not all the windows were shaking. It seemed to be only those that slide open like patio windows which is a bit strange. Sadly I know from experience that with an explosion, the whole place shakes.
