An Earthquake We Didn’t Feel -15 hours ago -263 km drom Doha

 


 I was surprised to read about a 5.3‑magnitude earthquake in southwestern Iran this morning, about 263 km from Doha. At 8:11 AM, I was just preparing breakfast and didn’t notice a thing. Authorities confirm there’s no danger to Qatar.

Qatar seismic station


 It is  a new  place " Qatar Network for Seismic Observation" .It detected an earthquake very far from Doha ."The 6.7 magnitude earthquake occurred 9,771km from Doha at a depth of 137km"
It has powerful devices .I hope that it will not detect earthquakes around here .A year ago or more there were two harmless earthquakes in Doha which caused much panic . I personally did not notice anything but my husband was asked to leave the tower building .

GREED

The school buildings collapsed and they crushed or buried alive hundreds of children and their teachers .While other buildings remained standing -most of the parents survived the earthquake .Corruption ,greed -say the parents ... an area as big as Spain is mourning in China .They lost their only kid - their little ,spoilt darling -and they only comfort would be to know that he/she did not suffer a lot ..But none of them can be sure of that .

Greed was the main cause for what a little Hungarian village lost many of their schoolers about 15 years ago.It was a foggy day -the school bus took them to the other village -as the small villages do not deserve a school nowadays .The signal at the railway cross was stolen .It was very common to steal signposts and traffic lights to sell them as melted metal ... Greed .

Would the block where we live collapse in case a similar earthquake ?What about the other buildings ?
I know I live in the least corrupt Arab country .But would it be enough to save us ?
