    There were reports of people feeling shaking around this area. I am guessing it was just gas from lunch.

    I was at work at everyone was asking if I felt it.

    I had no clue what they were talking about tho. So I guess I missed the earthquake.


    Any reports of damage or anything?

    There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

    According to county officials, there have been no calls to the Monroe County 911 center for structural damage or injury as a result of the quake.

    Below are pictures someone took of damage that a house suffered because of the quake:

    Default Definitely Felt it Up Here

    Hey,

    First time I've ever felt an earthquake that's for sure! Was at school and the building was shaking like crazy. I don't think there was any damage but all our cell phones stopped working for about 25 mins.

    I'm not aware of any damage here at work. I will have to wait till I get home to inspect the house. I was rocking around in my chair for a bunch of seconds. My first thought was not an earthquake. I thought I was having some sort of episode. Sucks getting old. LOL
