Yeah, the Gulf Coasters do not need even a tiny little minor tsunami...

What are the thoughts about sizable wave activity. Little too close for comfort here.

Maybe it was caused from all that oil drilling out there. They probably created a new fault line, lol...

Felt it here in Seminole county north of Orlando.

Windows rattled a little. Ground shook for a couple of times no more than 5 seconds. Strange! Does this increase the sink hole dangers?

I thought that was what was happening. I went outside expecting to see a crater next to my house.

Did this happen around 11 am EDT? I had just left my house and was driving down my street to get some lunch and I heard a strange knocking or tapping sound. Might have been windows rattling in the houses I was driving by. Freaky.

It happened at 1456UTC (or 10:56 EDT). Specific information about this event is available at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/rec ... usslav.php . That page also has an area where you can let them know if you felt it (see the "Did You Feel It?" link towards the bottom).
