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

2 good loud shaking jolts about 10 seconds apart - I was awake and it felt strong on Crown Mt.

I didn't feel it, was fast asleep.

Here is a link with the info. You can sign up for various alerts.

Some people in the BVIs felt them too.

We received 4 earthquakes.

From my USGS - VI Earthquake Alert........

6:34pm 99 miles from St John 15 miles deep 3.4 mag

9:45pm 19 miles from St John 1.6 miles deep 2.7 mag

3:44am 18 miles from St John 3 miles deep 4.4 mag

3:45am 18 miles from St John 9 miles deep 4.3. mag

Definitely felt the 4.4 and heard her loud and clear !!

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.
