Earthquakes too?

Cassie and I were in the cabana making dinner when all of a sudden things started to shake….Then they continued to shake.  Then they shook a little more.  Turns out we had just experienced our first PR earthquake!  It was located closer to the Dominican Republic, but most of Puerto Rico felt it. The USGS reported it as 5.3 then updated to 5.8 at a depth of 91km.

I guess we can add earthquakes to the list of new experiences.  It is a strange feeling when the earth grinds against itself for a pretty long while.  There was an earthquake back in Greeley when I was a kid (maybe kindergarten?) but I all I remember was the adults freaking out about it.
