Hearing it coming is always interesting and then you feel the motion.
Surprised you didn't hear or feel it OT as you are not too far from my location and we have a nice little shake-up.
Glad that's all it was.
There have been quite a few alerts happening lately but this one was the only one I have felt in awhile.
Residents can report a felt earthquake online at http://www.prsn.uprm.edu/English/DFI/reportesismos.php
I get free alerts sent to my e-mail from:
USGS - VI-Alert
