Witness location : Dubai (United Arab Emirates) (191 km S from epicenter)

As per my knowledge no damage occured to any of the surrounding buildings.

Witness location : 10 Km SW Dubai (United Arab Emirates) (200 km S from epicenter)

While sitting down, felt a dizziness in my head for about 30 seconds.  Have been in slight earthquakes before and never felt physically affected like this one did.

Witness location : 30 Km SW Dubai (United Arab Emirates) (218 km S from epicenter)

A dog has been barking for one hour before the earthquake and stopped immediately afterwards.

Witness location : 35 Km SW Dubai (United Arab Emirates) (222 km S from epicenter)

Some people not used to earthquackes were very alarmed, but I know the Irani fault is close and buildings in Dubai are made out of decent concreet, so I managed to minimise the event. Not very understandably, security guards came in quickly 25-20 mins after the quacke, telling that we must evacuate the building due to unspecified "structural issues". I feel comfortable with totally denying this eventuality.
