Were you enjoying (or suffering) your Saturday sitting in an office with nothing to do? Well, I was. Until Lahore experienced a strong earthquake, and my sad little life had a little bit of ‘DID YOU FEEL THAT??’ wali movement.
News sources reported that the earthquake was a 5.6 on the Richter Scale, which is a lot tbh.
The earthquake was felt in Lahore, Pakpattan, Jaranwala, Nankana Sahib, Sheikhupura, Okara, Kasur, Gujrat, Khanewal, Hafizabad, Chiniot, Multan and other cities.
People freaked out, and honestly, banta hai!
Allah o Akbar..
Huge 5-7 second earthquake in Lahore..
May Allah keep all of us safe and sound.. #Earthquake pic.twitter.com/gvCvlJIgKX— Naya Pakistan (@Waqas_amjad) September 1, 2018
