Rabo de Peixe (Portugal) (65 km NW from epicenter)(no details): Noto há muito que o relevo em geral está diferente, mais bicudo tipo «assanhado» nos picos e, que há areias mais quentes a secar a camada mais superficial da terra e quase em varredura (via EMSC)

Ponta Delgada (Portugal) (68 km NW from epicenter)(no details): Acordei a sentir a cama, o guarda roupa, a luz, tudo a tremer muito depressa e a ouvir aquele som drruumm horrível!
Assustei-me e gritei. O tremor de terra só parou quando senti algo a cair e a partir-se...
Fui à rua, os pássaros estavam a voar agitados e passado uns minutos, estavam a cantar calmamente.
Foi a pior sensação que já senti! (via EMSC)

Capelas (Portugal) (74 km NW from epicenter)(no details): primeiro se sentiu varios cracks no telhado (vivemos numa casa de 300 anos com tectos te madeira)em que pensamos ser granizo forte caindo mas olhei para a janela e nao havia indicios de chuva/granizo. De seguida o som aumentou e a vibração sentiu se como descendo (ou subindo, nao sei bem) pelas paredes e entao o chao começou a baloiçar. Tudo isso penso que demorou nao mais de 10 segundos. Apos isso, la fora na quinta tudo parecia "parado" no tempo. (via EMSC)
