I felt it this morning a woke to watch a little early morning TV and felt it. I was more severer than people think it lasted for about 8 seconds.
Quake also felt in St. Vincent.
All of them seem to be happening in the same spot.
I did not feel the earth Quake. Some areas felt it more.
Yep felt it...looked at the time...was 3:19am
Oh that's what it was. At 3:15 I say is a gajay.
You're not alone. Felt more like something jumping on the bed.
