DohaNews: Tremors felt in Qatar

Tremors rippled across much of Doha this afternoon, leaving some residents shaking for up to 30 seconds. Numerous office and residential towers have been evacuated in Dafna and West Bay.

Reports of the tremor came in from across the city, primarily near the coast, including at the Crowne Plaza Hotel towards the south-east, Hamad Hospital in the center of town, and Dafna and West Bay to the north.

Although not all in Doha felt the tremor, some as far away as Mesaieed and Ras Laffan say they felt it as well.

A 6.3 magnitude earthquake was registered in southern Iran a few minutes earlier, just before 3pm Doha local time.
