Egypt Hit By an Earthquake for the Second Time this Week
An earthquake measuring 4.7 on the Richter scale hit Egypt earlier this morning. The earthquake was felt by Cairo residents along with other governorates at 05:03 local time. According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, the earthquake was centered 53 km south of Suez and 25 km south east of Al-Ain Al-Sukhna.
It is worth mentioning that this is the second time for Egypt to be hit by an earthquake this week as a 4.2 earthquake was felt by Cairo and Suez residents on Friday Jul. 18, 2014 at 22:01 local time with no damage reported.
Although this morning’s quake was stronger than the first, it did not trend on Twitter most probably because of the timing.
WE SAID THIS: Did you feel the earthquake?
