Several islands, including Dominica, were shaken by a 5.5 magnitude earthquake which struck early Monday morning.
The quake was reportedly felt in Martinique, Dominica and St. Lucia.
The University of the West Indies’ Seismic Research Centre (SRC), said the quake took place at a 2:55 am at a depth of 147 km.
The center of the quake was located nine kilometers northwest of Fort De France, Martiniqe; 69 km north northwest of Castries, St. Lucia, and 78 km south southeast of Roseau, Dominica.
No damage or injuries have been reported.
These quakes, if felt could be scary.
. Later I found out there was an earthquake.
I recall, a few years one warm summer’s day in Toronto, on a Saturday morning, at that time I was fast asleep. I opened my eyes and felt my stomach going up and down – moving. This is what probably woke me up. I wondered what was going on.
When I was able to get out from the bed I began looking under the bed. It was as if I thought someone was under my bed and shaking it – evil spirit (?)
The earthquake originated from Quebec. There was some damage elsewhere. I heard, a bridge collapsed.
A few years ago in summer, June, I was in the kitchen, standing in front of the kitchen sink. I had just finished making a salad. My body may have been swaying. I observed the wall in front of me and the sink were moving. I turned behind and noticed the fridge and stove swaying. I related this in a previous writing. I was scared. This earthquake was a 5.0. God help us!
I knew I felt my bed swooning as if the entire house was rolling around in liquid. It did not rattle but it rolled and it lasted for more than a few seconds too. This is the second one I felt for the season so far. The first was not not as strong.
Same here
Tim Tim :were you making love at that time? just asking nothing more.

You must have been scared.
