Well, at 11:56 today, Florida experienced something quite unusual as buildings swayed and people slowly started to get in touch with a little piece of 6.0 reality. We just don't do earthquakes here. The data is up at the USGS survery and I copied it below. From the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic we definitely felt the earth move.
Would like to hear feedback from anyone who experienced it.
