I am not sure 4.9 counts as earthquake…but if it rocks your world…:)
Well I didnt even felt it but guess what it was Breaking news of the time. I remember in november 2005 a mild tremor of 4.2 or soemthing aliek intensity was felt in areas around clifrin/sea karachi and ppl came out and spent the nite out. We laughed at this since islamabad was getting daily shocks of 6.8//6/6.5/7.2 several (and I meant it) time a day … that went on for some 2+ months.
Yeah right…. A for [pine]apple Islooites are used to getting their world rocked every once in a while..:P
