We just had an Earthquake

[Rainband]

Very mild but.... Weird, you could feel it in your ears!!!

[Anonymous]

Hmmm-where u at now? I thought you were from Florida.

[Rainband]

My mom felt it too and so did my friend in Indian Rocks Beach Maybe it was a stealth bomber. Waiting to find out more info.

Nothing on the Earthquake Information Center yet.

A quake in Florida would be even more unheard of than one here.

Brent I just reported to USGS it said human reports take 2 hours. I don't know what it was but our ears felt odd and the cats ran

That's the way the one we had last week felt Earthquakes can and DO happen in various places, read the BOOK

Well, as long as you didn't see a bright white flash and mushroom cloud when you felt the earthquake...

Never felt one before, must be interesting.

Here is another earthquake link--for the central/southeast. Earthquakes are common in the carolinas and I recall seeing one reported offshore jacksonville once but was felt by no one. Being you are in S Fla, I wonder if it could have been one in the Carribbean? Sounds wild

I slept through the "big one" here back in 2003... 4.9, the epicenter was about 100 miles north of here. Just about everyone was woken up(4:30am). Yeah... an earthquake nut misses a once-every-50-years quake.

Sorry but it was more than a yawn being I am 40 miles from Tampa and my house trembled

[Anonymous]

Wow! even a 2.7 is pretty big for Fla who isnt even supposed to get quakes qeriod All this strange stuff since that movie--day after tomorrow

[Miss Mary]

I don't think anyone wants a 6.0 or higher earthquake down there anyway, not with everything built on sand! So any rumble I imagine is out of the ordinary.

Tell us if it snows next....just kidding....

Now baynews 9 said f-18's may have caused the sonic boom that was picked as a microquake 2.7 as far away as Orlando?? Ok...then

[MSRobi911]

Rainband,

If it was f-18's wonder what the military is doing down there, just the other day when they reported the dauphin beachings they reported about naval activity with possible sonar being used. Makes you wonder......

I know, they train all the time, we have a navy homeport here in Pascagoula and Kessler 30 miles away. You can set you clocks by a bombing run that air force planes fly over Gautier and Wade every day from Biloxi to Meridian they have a bombing run set up and sometimes they make really loud sonic booms....

At least you're OK.
