Based on location and magnitude, the Lower Keys were in no trouble.

looking at the latest on this earthquake and they changed it from a 6.1 to a 6.2. Not a big change but they did change it.

Starting to look that way. That was a strong earthquake that hit though and in the other thread one of the members is posting a forecast for earthquakes but i haven't seen any of his come true yet. I don't even see how you can forecast a earthquake they hit when they want no matter what. And i couldn't find anything in his forecast about the 6.2 magnitude earthquake that his just south of Cuba.
