I didn't feel it on STX! Somehow I missed it.
I heard it coming then felt it. I usually don't feel them but this one I did.
You could hear it coming and the plates grinding. STX being further away probably did get same impact we did in BVI, STJ and STT.
Report by Source said boaters encountered a couple large waves.
No Tsunami types, luckily.
There was a 5.3 quake 40 miles off CA yesterday afternoon. Hmmmmm
Felt nothing east end St. Croix
I felt it here on the west end of STX. I live 400' ASL. It felt as if a big truck drove by my house...an impossibility up here. It felt just like that which I've felt many times before in South Arkansas when the New Madrid fault rumbles up near Arkansas/Missouri line. But, I'm sure most would not have given much thought to it. But, I thought to myself at the time, hmmm, that felt like a quake rumble and got on here today and my thoughts were confirmed.
