Earthquake Strikes South Florida & Cuba

Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

An earthquake struck off the coast of Cuba on Thursday, shaking buildings both in that nation and in the Florida straits.

The quake struck just before 4 p.m. local time about 100 miles east of Havana.  The U.S. Geological Survey said that the closest city to the epicenter was Corralillo.

The quake was so strongly felt in Old Havana that buildings had to be temporarily evacuated because of the shaking.  The quake reportedly shook buildings for over 30 seconds.

“Everything was moving,” NuriaOquendo told Fox.  “You could really feel it, very clear, very defined.”

The USGS said that the quake was only six miles deep and not strong enough to develop tsunami.
