This morning around 11:00am I was on my computer when I feel what felt like some one had rocked me in my chair. Well my mom also felt it in the other room and this afternoon I discovered what it was.

It appears that in the Gulf of Mexico an earth quake happened and that was what I felt.

I think if Mexico gets snow this year will be stranger since they've already had their once every 100 years fluke of that.

How far away do you live from Mexico?  I live maybe a few hours north of the border, and I didn't feel anything.  Then again, I was asleep until 1:00 PM Pacific time. :rolleyes

I'm in Georgia, the quake happened in the Gulf of Mexico.

The furthest that people reported feeling it was about 600 miles from the quake's center which was about 250 miles west of Tampa, Florida

As for myself I'm about 570 miles from the quake's center.
