An earthquake has rocked most of Pakistan earlier this evening, while Pakistanis were busy enjoying the weekend.
The tremors were felt in various parts of Pakistan.
A wave of terror has managed to plant the seed of fear among Pakistanis as the country endured earthquake tremors in the later half of today.

Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, Kohat, Mianwali, and many other areas, primarily in the northern Pakistan region, were jolted by the natural event.
And we weren’t the only ones to experience the horror.
To offer you a silver lining, the tremors were felt in adjacent areas of Pakistan as well.

The epicenter of the earthquake has been claimed to have been the Hindukush region, which means our neighbors were also shaken out of their weekend party plans. Tremors were felt in India and Afghanistan as well.
The Quake was no joke as the readings on the Richter scale were pretty high.
As per Pakistan Meteorological Department’s official statement, the earthquake was of a magnitude of 5.8 on the Richter scale, with a depth of 208 kilometers.
Earthquake tremors felt in several Pakistan cities
Hope everyone is fine.
It was a strong one 5.8 is no joke bro .#earthquake #Pakistan #Islamabad #Rawalpindi— Junaid khattak 🇵🇰 (@Mj_khattak) February 2, 2019
In easier terms, the tremors were of the same strength as those felt back in 2005 after the devastating calamity that struck northern Pakistan. This means that these tremors were no joke.
What’s worse is that this wasn’t the only earthquake Pakistan experienced today.

2.9— UMAIR ASLAM (@UMAIR_ASLAM_) February 2, 2019
At around 7:38 am, the first earthquake of the day hit Karachi. Fortunately, the tremors were a meager 2.9 on the Richter scale, which was why most of you Karachiites might not have even felt it.
Needless to say, Pakistanis are freaking out.

2-3 earthquakes in one day is no joke. We haven’t yet fully recuperated from the shocking incidents of 2005, hence we are still sensitive to the entire ordeal.

In all honesty, I’m one of those people who didn’t feel it.
Then there are a few who are linking natural events to politics.
