Earthquake rocks Iran...and Dubai

Today a 6.2 earthquake hit Iran around 3:00ish and aftershocks were felt in Dubai and other northern UAE areas measuring around 4.8. Lisa was at the Dubai Community Theatre with Kaleigh and Ashlyn waiting on their first drama lesson to start. Dwayne was at work in Dubai's Internet City. We were all completely oblivious to the aftershocks that evidently forced evacuations of thousands of people from Dubai's high rises and office buildings here! Iran is very susceptible to earthquakes and they happen frequently there...just not to this magnitude. It's amazing that Dubai doesn't get the aftershocks more often...we are so close to Iran...barely a stone's throw! Maybe a little too close...

Just wanted to say that everyone here is fine. Ignorance IS bliss, after all!

Desert safari is a must do thing when ever you travel to Dubai.
