Civil Defense officials have postponed the return of evacuees to their homes in Al-Eis and the villages of Omluj until next week after light tremors were felt in the region on Wednesday. Tremors occurred early Wednesday afternoon, with the strongest two recorded at 2.6 and 2.2 on the Richter scale, shortly after the Saudi Geological Survey (SGS) had published its daily report saying that no tremors of over three on the Richter scale had been registered in the previous 24 hours. A Civil Defense official said Wednesday that the return of evacuees would now not take place until after Saturday.
