The UAE was among the countries that felt the aftershocks of an earthquake that hit Iran on Tuesday. Tremors were felt across the Gulf, including in Dubai and Doha, and also in New Delhi in India, as the 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Iran. According to the US Geological Survey, the quake hit at a depth of 15.2kms (9.4) miles and was located 201kms (125 miles) southeast of the Iranian city of Zahedan, close to the border with Pakistan. One of the first things people did was take to social media websites and share their experience. Below is a collection of some tweets that are informative, humorous and a few show the true picture.
