Bahrain Got The Early-Morning Quake Shakes This Morning

A light earthquake rattled parts of Bahrain in the early hours of Monday morning, causing a rare moment of shock for many residents, especially those living in Central Bahrain, just north of Askar. The tremor struck at exactly 2:58 AM Bahrain local time, registering a magnitude of 3.3 on the Richter scale.

This earthquake, while noticeable, is considered a minor event. No injuries or significant structural damage have been reported across the Kingdom, and it’s being classified as a rare occurrence for the region.

Rare and mostly harmless occurence

Here’s the thing: Bahrain is generally seen as a low‑risk area for earthquakes. The region sits on what geologists call the “stable craton” of the Arabian Plate, meaning the land doesn’t usually crack or shift violently compared with more active regions.

Over the years, Bahrain has only recorded a handful of minor tremors within its territory, with most felt-shakes often traced back to distant earthquakes stirring activity in nearby regions like southern Iran.

A little awareness and preparation never hurts!

This morning’s tremor is a good reminder that, even in a place considered “safe” from earthquakes, unpredictable moments can still happen.

So while this morning’s 3.3 quake might’ve felt weird, experts say it’s nothing to panic over

Whether you live in a high‑rise or ground‑floor apartment, here’s a simple reminder of smart quake etiquette (because good knowledge + preparedness = wins):

• Drop, cover, and hold on: get under a sturdy desk or table immediately if you feel shaking.
• Avoid glass: stay away from windows, glass doors, and outer walls.
• Use the stairs after the tremor stops: never take elevators right after a quake.

Even small quakes can throw things off balance, so a few seconds of caution can go a long way!
