My fiancee told me about it. She felt it around 1 40am her time. They all ran outside and she said it sounded like Godzilla was coming.

After the first tremor, she went inside and it happened again. Crazy. Hope everyone is ok. Her sister in Seville Spain also felt this one.

My husband called back to Tetouan and heard that the worst of it was felt in Casa. His family said that Tetouan felt the shakes and went outside but everyone is safe.

I wonder what damage had been done in Casa. I hope nothing at all. My best friends husband is living in Casa. :(

I was literally on a live Skype chat with my Fiance when this happened. He is in Khemisset and he felt the quake when I was talking to him. I told him that it was so late he was probably imagining things :)

I was talking to mine too, and he stepped away for prayer, and it happened in the middle of that, and he thought he was imagining things too. :lol: lol Im glad there was no serious damage anyplace or anyone injured. But of course I have not heard anything yet, and my friend still had not talked to her husband in Casa yet. :(

Sounds like nothing big happened. Glad everyone's honey seems to be alright. I didn't know anything until Turia told me about it. I am talking to my husband, who is on the East Side of Morocco. He said the worst of it was out in the ocean and sea.
