By Smaddy on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 - 07:40 am: Edit PostI was on the phone to TB at 2:30 this AM when my man felt a strong earthquake. Who else feel it?
According to the report at link below, looks like epicenter was close to TB

By Rebecca on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 - 09:42 am: Edit PostYep, I felt it, and so did my cat. I've heard from a few others who felt it as well.
By J A M on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 - 12:16 pm: Edit PostIt's quite odd to get quakes in TB regardless of the legendary Port Royal mash-up right?

By C.Rica on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 - 11:28 am: Edit PostHow strong was it?, it will not sorprise me if we get one here, is SO HOT, the fans do not help. Hope there was no damage from it.
By wondering on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 - 06:32 pm: Edit PostWasn't there another quake just a few months ago? If so, isn't it unusual to have them so closely together?
By Rebecca on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 - 07:43 pm: Edit PostThe one last night was a 4.4. The one a few months ago was a 5.0.
And, yes, I've been living here 18 years and only remember about 2 or 3 other earthquakes in that whole time previous to these.

Almost succumbed to a murder/suicide situation.
I have experienced earthquakes while driving on a large city bridge in Vancouver BC 5.4 & also in my shaken little house deep in the BC coastal rain forest at the end of HWY#101.
Gale force winds of 125mph on a 18' aluminum skiff at 2:30 AM in Desolation Sound BC to make a shellfish farmgate delivery to a Canadian Goverment dock.
A 747 emergency plane crash in Bangledash 27 mins. after a near nose dive into the Bay of Bengal.
Near death in a kitchen fire in N. Quebec Canada
But never a hurricane. Yet I've held fast to some major scary situations. When I hear tell tales of hurricanes in Jamaica I do soo... shiver.
Great believer in Emergency Preparedness; charged cell phone, water, sealed foods, flashlight & planning. (all at home & in boat or car) oh yes plus a healthy disposition of clear mind & physical sustance. Knowing thyself & your neighbor helps too! ;-)
In TB how do folks prepare? Love to hear more...
By Love GB. on Saturday, September 03, 2011 - 02:01 pm: Edit PostHmmm, whites, kushumpeng, lighters/matches, candles, biscuits and cheese.
That's for me. For the missus and kids, the whole shebang plus a 4 X 4 loaded, just in case.
I like those mini shortwave radios. Can pick up worldwide with 2 AA batteries.
