Quake in Kingston Jamaica

[malaise]

Felt like a 5.5 - no damage where we are - lasted about 10 seconds.

deleted the serious. :D

1. What are you hearing about the rest of Kingston?

[malaise]

2. Nothing yet - turned on the radio and they're saying that

it was shaking in their studios for a long time :D

It just happened - I'll post what I hear.

May not even have been a 'Kingston' quake which would be bad news for some other parish - haven't felt anything that intense since 2004.

3. Lights are on in all the hills surrounding us

so clearly there's no damage to electricity.

7. Wow!

Did it wake you or were you already up? What are emergency services telling you?

8. It was intense but clearly not serious

I was up checking some tables I need for a meeting this morning. Just sat down with my mug of coffee. 4.2 is no reason for worry. :hi:
