there was a pretty bad earthquake here in the caribbean about 45 minutes ago. i was sitting at the computer and i felt the tremors here in barbados. that was the scariest thing that i've ever experienced in my life. :(

Ive only experienced a few earthquakes......it was weird because I thought a big truck was driving by because I lived on a main highway.....then I seen the house move.....now that was freaky!!!

The actual earthquake at the time was in Seattle....yet when I lived in San Francisco, I never felt the earthquakes......

what was it on the ricter scale?

get used to it.. your in a bad spot of the world.. you guys have a volcano down there as well right? believe its under the water

Had a big earthquake when I was like 8 epicentered right outside of where I lived! Was VERY scary!!

The earthquake here in the seattle area a few years ago was 7.6

I worked in a bank inside a grocery store and the lights just started swinging and then the shelves started swaying and everything started falling to the floor. We were so busy making sure the bank was secure that we didn't have time to be too scared.

it just happened so reliable info is skecthy...but there are reports on the radio that it reached about 7.5 on the richter

Prayers going out for any who may have been effected by this quake...

Powerful quake shakes Caribbean
People flee into streets after magnitude-7.4 temblor; no injuries reported

ROSEAU, Dominica - A powerful earthquake rocked the eastern Caribbean on Thursday, sending office workers and shoppers on several islands fleeing into the streets. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

The earthquake which struck at 2 p.m. ET, with a magnitude of 7.4, was centered 26 miles southeast of Roseau, the capital of Dominica, where the shaking lasted for about 20 seconds.

The quake was felt hundreds of miles away in Puerto Rico to the west, and Venezuela and Suriname to the south.

Radio hosts at Radio Martinique said the earthquake caused some damage on the French island but did not give details. Listeners were urged to evacuate buildings.

“My house shook so hard I thought it was going to fall,” said a caller who identified herself only as Fannie. “The door, the windows, everything shook.”

The quake struck at a depth of 90 miles, according to the USGS Web site.

“I wouldn’t expect major damage because the quake has some depth,” said Don Blakeman, a geophysicist at the National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii said the quake was too deep to generate a destructive tsunami.


People flee into streets
In Trinidad, the shaking sent workers streaming out of office towers into the streets of the capital, Port-of-Spain.

Thousands more ran outside in St. Maarten. Flight’s at Princess Juliana International Airport were briefly suspended.

In Antigua, islanders said the shaking lasted about 30 seconds.

“I haven’t felt one like that in a while,” said Jessie Kentish, a resident of the capital, St. John’s. “It was a long time.”

The powerful temblor triggered a series of false quake alarms in California, with computers picking up energy coming out of the Caribbean and erroneously treating it as local seismic activity. The fake quakes began registering nine minutes after the Caribbean quake, USGS scientists said.

In September, a similar incident occurred when a massive earthquake struck off the Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean and triggered six false reports of quakes in California.

There is a very energetic comet in the neighborhood...according to new
thoughts about such things comets & other solar bodies react to planets
thru "plasma & electric" discharges....the result may be earthquakes and
other weather phenomena.....Just your friendly FYI ....
