          I was on the pooper @ work and thought someone was shaking the wall in the stall next to me. Did it 2x about 10 sec each time. After wiping I found that the entire bathroom was empty except me! I come back and my co-worker told me he felt some shaking and thought he was becoming autistic...

            The following is a release by the United States Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center: A strong earthquake occurred about 250 miles (405 km) south-southwest of Apalachicola, Florida at 8:56 AM MDT, Sep 10, 2006 (10:56 AM EDT in Florida). The magnitude and location may be revised when additional data and further analysis results are available. This earthquake was felt in parts of Florida, Georgia and Alabama. No reports of damage or casualties have been received at this time.

            Tectonic Summary

            This earthquake was centered beneath the Gulf of Mexico, well distant from the nearest active plate boundary. Such "midplate" earthquakes are much less common than earthquakes occurring on faults near plate boundaries, and most probably represent the release of long-term tectonic stresses that ultimately originate from forces applied at the plate boundary. This is the largest of more than a dozen shocks that have been instrumentally recorded from the eastern Gulf of Mexico in the past three decades, and it is the most widely felt. The most recent significant earthquake in the region occurred on February 10th, 2006 and had a magnitude of 5.2. We have not associated this earthquake with a specific causative fault. Earthquakes of this magnitude are unlikely to generate destructive tsunami. No significant tsunami was generated by this earthquake.

                    I felt it for sure and I am in St Petersburg near Tampa. I am about 3 miles from the Gulf so I bet alot of people have along the coast. If they were home or somewhere where they werent moving. They said it was like 30 seconds and that was about right.
