Didn't feel it, but dog went ballistic around that time. Assume that's why.

Some people in the BVIs felt them too.

Sleeping on a Thermarest at Ivan's JVD makes it impossible NOT to feel it!

They happen all the time with great frequency and unless I'm in the right place at the right time I miss 99% of them. When I had a waterbed I felt every single little bitty one!

We usually get over 150 earthquakes a month...I've never felt one is the 8 years I've lived here.
