Did anyone felt the earthquake earlier (11:30pm local time)? I saw on a website that it is near southwestern Pakistan about 7.4 magnitude. It's kinda big.

and it's not a minor tremor. I think from the looks of it's geography, it's located in the mountains. Well, I hope it is. Coz if it's on a city or near it, it would be a disaster.
