I was out having a smoke when it happened - didn't feel a thing.

However, in Jumeirah last time round...

Lol, our HSE guy didn't even notice it, he was in a world of his own and it was all over before he knew anything!

None of us felt it here and some of the girls here are so skinny they would blow over if someone shut a door too hard....

I'm on the 23rd Floor in U-Bora Tower, Business Bay and we felt a slight shake for between 5-10 seconds. Nothing to get excited about.

our is on his own planet. he initially thought it was due to a forklift operating on the floor below, not sure how the hell that would have got there but never mind. then mass panic as he tried to shoo everyone out as quickly as possible. after 10 minutes good in the heat he decided that was long enough to be certain the building wouldn't fall down and we were allowed back in. total idiocy.
