Gulf Earthquake

[Mermaid]

We felt it - staying at the Mers condo. I assumed it was the famous Eglin rumbles that y'all talk about, and didn't bother to mention it later. It was more of a rumble than a shaking in Seagrove.

Don't worry Mermy- nothing broke!

Glad to hear it, Jenny. I'd have hated to go on the rentals page complaining about these *&)* renters who broke everything in my condo.

"The quake hit just as members of the Villa Tasso Baptist Church were arriving for morning services. “The building shook so much, we all just swayed a little, it made us look like we were dancing….which of course horrified most everybody.”



if you don't get it, go ask a southern baptist

I don't think I've posted here before but...

Yeah, I felt it. I was sitting on the couch, skipped church because my toddler had a fever. He was eating breakfast in his high chair and I felt the house swaying. Very gentle, but very noticeable. The picture frames were swaying. I immediately though "this is NOT a bomb". I called my dad in Destin and he said he didn't feel anything, but when I described it he said it had to be a quake. I had already checked the USGS site and it wasn't showing, but 10 minutes later it listed it as recorded.

That was SO weird/amazing/shocking all at once.
FTR, I'm a few blocks north of 98 off of 393.
