FTA: "People across South Florida are reporting they felt their homes shake, similar to a small earthquake.
The United States Geological Survey is not reporting any activity in South Florida, however, there was a strong 5.9 magnitude earthquake in Guatemala’s capital Friday morning. The U.S. Geological Service said the earthquake’s epicenter was located just off Guatemala’s Pacific coast 3 miles south-southwest of Champerico. The USGS has not linked the earthquake in Guatemala to the what people felt in South Florida.
Florida is known for having the fewest earthquakes of any US state because it’s not located near any tectonic plate boundaries, however, earthquakes do happen. They are just very rare.
In September 2020, there was a magnitude 4.0 earthquake near the Florida/Alabama state line."
Since FL is basically reclaimed swamp land, it is more likely to reverberate earth quake shakes from else where.
In contrast, people who live on bedrock, rarely ever "feel" any shaking, even if the epicenter is nearby.
