Egypt sees sandstorm and earthquake on the same day

Apparently my 4th floor guest felt it and yet I (2nd floor) didn't nor did my ground floor guest. :)

Egypt sees sandstorm and earthquake on the same day: Egypt faced treacherous weather conditions Saturday as a sandstorm blanketed the north of the country and a magnitude-5.2 earthquake centered in the Sinai peninsula shook buildings more than 200 miles away in the capital, Cairo.

The epicenter of the quake was 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) southeast of the beachside town of Nuweiba in the Sinai, and about 75 kilometers (46 miles) south of Egypt's border with Israel, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
