Dave-Vero 656 Report post Posted September 10, 2006 It was a 6.0 far out in deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, according to USGS, about 10:55 am eastern daylight savings time. People apparently felt it on the Florida east coast. I think I was driving at the time, so missed it. Best news story is at the St. Petersburg Times.

Rusty on Pine Is. 39 Report post Posted September 10, 2006 I was outside at the time, and didnt feel a thing...it was a mid-plate tremor.......supposed to happen along boundaries and not in the middle of the plate.....atypical, anyway. And there was another one just this past Feb. Darn, missed that one too! ......hmmm, I wonder if this is a sign of some extra plate activity?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave-Vero 656 Report post Posted September 10, 2006 We may get some guesses from the experts this week. The Gulf doesn't have anything special on its deep floor, except, I guess, some deep oil-bearing sediments. Certainly no plate boundaries (look north of Puerto Rico for that--lots of earthquakes, and PR has suffered tsunamis). I'm sure oil companies are familiar with the Gulf terrain.
