Yep rattled the windows in Emba, could be after shocks from the recorded one announced at 0403 this morning which was 3.4 and 35km offshore of the west coast.

It felt more like an explosion then an earthquake.

I don't doubt these figures, but the one at 11:15 sounded more like an explosion. I have experiance a few earthquakes in my time and this was different. It reminded me of the Turkish air bombings of Pyroi and once also experianced this type of noise by some subsonic aircraft.
