In Sept of 2008 there was a little 6.1 near Qeshm Island in Iran I was up on the 32nd floor of a building being built in Kuwait City at the time it happened with no walls on the building yet only the concrete structure and the core and some of the floors had been poured we felt the building sway quite a bit even being several hundred Kilometers away. Towers down in Dubai were evacuated as a precaution that stupidly tall thing they have in Dubai now is supposedly rated to withstand a 9.1 but you wouldn't catch me in it I was invited to a conference to be held on the 65 th floor but as luck would have it I was in Germany at a trade show during the time it was to be held
