November 29, 2007.

Well, well, well. I experienced my first earthquake today as a temblor reaching 7.4 on the Richter scale rocked St. Kitts and Nevis and the rest of the Caribbean as far south as Trinidad and Tobega at about 3pm. I was downtown when the quake hit and workers fled buildings and congregated in the streets when it hit. I was by the water and I didn't feel it as much as some others in the area. Apparently this was the third earthquake for the week, but it was the first that was so widespread and felt by so many people.

You can find all the details and maps on the USGS website.
