Earth Quake in Delhi - 2 minutes ago. Anyone else felt it?

[lem34]

Yea man, first it was a very quick and mild one. We knew it was a quake, but so mild we didn't mind it. 20-30 seconds later, I was putting my dinner plate in the sink, and the way it felt, I lost the plate - noise accentuated the effect, and I made the fastest run I ever could



Can't detect the epicenter just by feeling it for such a brief time. But yes, it must be far away from Delhi (same distance as you are but opposite direction I suppose), and must be massive.

I seriously hope no one got hurt.

Ready, and waiting for the aftershocks here.

NDTV -no mention of casulties seems ok guys but must have been scary

True! mate! Just pray no aftershocks!

6.6 is a good earthquake, but it does not usually give any casualties, they are 7 and above.

NEW DELHI: A strong tremor lasting several seconds shook Delhi on Wednesday night.

An earthquake measuring 6.6 on the Richter scale shook Delhi and its outskirts at 11.30 pm on Wednesday night, the Met department said.

People in many areas as well as in the neighbouring town of Faridabad in Haryana ran out of their homes as the furniture started shaking with a rattle.

world has moved on from 1993. In a city like Delhi, the buildings are usually rigid enough to resist a 6.6 earthquake.
