I am at a kids function in the Cajundome and the scoreboard had just started swinging for no reason here about that time. What a hell of a coincidence



Coulda been me.

Off the Florida Keys, there's a place called Kokomo
That's where you want to go to get away from it all

Low tsunami risk cause the earthquake had side to side movement rather than upwards movement.

Judging by this webcam from 7 Mile Beach in Grand Cayman, people don't seem to be too worried. LINK

Seriously, there's a fault line in Jamaica?


Yep, interesting story about Port Royal, Jamaica, once an important city in North America:

Atlas Obscura - Sunken Pirate City at Port Royal

quote:

The earth opened and swallowed many people, before my face, and the sea I saw came mounting in over the wall, upon which I concluded it impossible to escape.”


quote:

Edmund Heath, survivor and eyewitness to the devastating 1692 earthquake wrote these words in a letter from the safety of a ship moored in the city’s harbor, overlooking the ruins of his city. Port Royal, once called “the most wicked and sinful city in the world” was famous the world over for its booze—the blackout-inducing Kill Devil Rum, its pirates, and its prostitutes. Needless to say, when the city was nearly destroyed, there were some parties that saw it as a convenient solution to an ugly problem

No, we will see Democrat filth blaming President Trump for all the destruction and misery. Same as in Puerto Rico.

Blame starting in 8...7...6...5...

If they are out to sea and stand and look over the rail. They might see the ripple when the tsunami passes under the ship.

If they are docked. They have a problem.

They are all either out to sea or just hugging the coast
