Slept way in on Sunday morning...and missed it. However, I woke up at 10:00...don't know if it may have been due to the quake or not. :idontno:

I have experienced tremors here before though. I wouldn't feel anything, but the jalousy (sp?) windows in our old house would rattle like the dickens.

I got several raised eyebrows & "have you been drinking?" jests when I asked my fellow diners at the Red Bar yesterday about the rolling...Must be the fourth or fifth earthquake I've been in...but the first one on the east coast!

We felt it - staying at the Mers condo. I assumed it was the famous Eglin rumbles that y'all talk about, and didn't bother to mention it later. It was more of a rumble than a shaking in Seagrove.

Don't worry Mermy- nothing broke!

Glad to hear it, Jenny. I'd have hated to go on the rentals page complaining about these *&)* renters who broke everything in my condo. :floor:

"The quake hit just as members of the Villa Tasso Baptist Church were arriving for morning services. “The building shook so much, we all just swayed a little, it made us look like we were dancing….which of course horrified most everybody.”

if you don't get it, go ask a southern baptist :blink:

I don't think I've posted here before but...

Yeah, I felt it. I was sitting on the couch, skipped church because my toddler had a fever. He was eating breakfast in his high chair and I felt the house swaying. Very gentle, but very noticeable. The picture frames were swaying. I immediately though "this is NOT a bomb". I called my dad in Destin and he said he didn't feel anything, but when I described it he said it had to be a quake. I had already checked the USGS site and it wasn't showing, but 10 minutes later it listed it as recorded.

That was SO weird/amazing/shocking all at once.
FTR, I'm a few blocks north of 98 off of 393.
