earthquake . . . in florida

there was an earthquake in the gulf of mexico this morning around 11am. I can't remember what i was doing at that time, i was probably still in bed or something. i was probably still in bed or something. i didn't feel it. i guess they felt it in ocala which is a few hours north of me so i should have felt it too. even if i did, i'd never associate an earthquake! i'd just think i was dizzy or something.

The earthquake, centered about 260 miles southwest of Tampa, was too small to trigger a tsunami or dangerous waves, the agency said. The USGS received more than 2,800 reports from people who felt the 10:56 a.m. quake.

Scientists said it was the largest and most widely felt of more than a dozen earthquakes recorded in the eastern Gulf of Mexico in the last 30 years.

okay, now i have prepared myself for hurricanes, but not tsunami's!!! holy shit, never really thought that could be one of the natural disasters down here. same for earthquakes - it seems so california . . .
