WHOA--An earthquake in Florida!!!!

WHOA! Did anyone else here in Florida feel the 6.0 earthquake that happened at 11am this morning 240 miles off the west coast of Florida? I asked my wife what the heck that rumbling was and then I FELT it. It was like brief, intense thunder for about 5-10 seconds. She didn't hear it or feel it and thought I was screwed up in the head! lol....

About an hour after, they came on the news and said there was a 6.0 earthquake in florida that was felt in North Carolina!

Folks, I've lived here for 30 years and that's a first for me!!!!!! I'm kind of weirded out by it

Wow! It happened in the Gulf of Mexico. I've never heard of that before and I've lived in Texas for all but 5 years of my life. The first 30 in Houston!

I was in San Diego when they had aminor earthquake and it does feel very queer. Very disconcerting!

Woah. My family's been in Florida for 5 generations now and I've never heard of an earthquake off of our coast! I didn't even think we were on a plate boundary!
