My cousin in Bhuj said they felt it quite strongly! Scary stuff. Thankfully it wasn't stronger. Gujarat has seen worse before.

The article could have included more about what magnitude 4.3 actually means in terms of potential damage. For context, the 2001 quake was 7.7.

Thank God no casualties reported! 🙌 The early warning systems must have helped. Gujarat has come a long way in disaster management since 2001.
