I was thinking the same thing, but the USGS web site hasn't been updated. Their last update was 1722 UTC. Anyone know of other rescources?

It seemed to rumble on and on for quite a while. I only felt one tiny tremor,but that may have been the dog jumping off the bed! Haha! Did you feel anything, Ronnie?

Howdy!!

It happens more than you would think. We don't hear about it, though. If you copy and paste http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/bulletin/neic_rxbc.html into your browser, then click on Virgin Islands, and scroll down to where it says "History". Wow! We have had a bunch!!

No big waves, no damage of any kind...just some small shakes and a very loud rumbling.
