Gulf Earthquake

[TooFarTampa]

I did not feel it and I'm very disappointed, but there were a lot of people around here who did. I wish I could say the reason I fell backward on the sidewalk while playing frisbee with my 6 year old this morning and twisted my ankle was because of the earthquake, but that happened at 9:56 a.m., not an hour later. Blaming it on an earthquake rather than my hysterically distended belly would have been sooooo much more convenient.

As it happens my husband is in San Francisco for the weekend. What are the odds he would leave Florida for San Fran and miss an earthquake?

TooFarTampa, are you central time??? If what happened to you occurred at 9:56a.m. and you are on CST and the quake occurred at 10:56 EST then that is probably what happened to you!

Hope it didn't crack my foundation!

I ran out of my house to see if a tree had fallen on the roof. It was intense.

I was lying on my couch on the porch this morning and could not figure out why it had begun to shake. Now I know . thanks sowal! (Pt Wahington)

On Grayton Lake. I attribute the intensity in the house to concrete construction which is rigid and known for its seismic limitations (as witnessed in Pakistan last year)

No such luck Lady D. Eastern time here. But thanks for trying!

Wonderful :shock: . I was laying in bed on the 3rd floor and thought it was workers with drills or something because I've felt shaking up there before but this morning there was no construction and it seemed to go on forever. I was laying there there thinking I'm gonna sell this damn place. I was actually getting concerned enough that I was gonna get my lazy butt up and go down to the 1st floor and then it stopped. Thanks so much for posting nicdeedoop. An earthquake never would have occurred to me. I wonder if that's what I've felt before :shock:

We felt this a few minutes later in Titusville
