Appears to be a 5.6 in Bulgaria, the USGS doesn't have it updated yet but it appears on the Live Earthquakes Map

Hi guys,

I'm in Sofia (about 20 kms from the epicenter) and living on the first floor and it all shook like hell... We felt two aftershocks (the second was really light one so we're not that sure about it).

Hope no one got hurt and the damage is minimal.

PS - will update both this and THIS thread as soon as we have extensive media coverage
