Earthquake in Pakistan, with a magnitude of 7.4, felt from Dubai to Delhi
By Melissa Bell

An earthquake has hit southwest Pakistan with a magnitude of 7.4. Twitter lit up with the news that people felt the earth move from Dubai to the outskirts of Delhi.



Reuters reports the quake struck 34 miles west of Dalbandin at 1:23 a.m. local time on Wednesday. The Pacific Tsunami Center said the onshore quake had not triggered a tsunami in the Indian Ocean.



For scale, the Haiti earthquake in 2010 was 7.0 magnitude and the San Francisco earthquake in 1989 was 7.1 magnitude.



We'll be updating as more reports come in.
