A strong magnitude 6.0 earthquake in the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday sent shockwaves from Louisiana to southwest Florida, but no damage was reported, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The earthquake, centered about 260 miles southwest of Tampa, was too small to trigger tsunami danger or other dangerous wave activity, the agency said. The USGS received almost 2,000 reports from people who felt the 10:56 a.m. earthquake. Scientists said it was the largest and most widely felt of more than a dozen earthquakes recorded in the eastern Gulf of Mexico in the last 30 years.
Some Central Florida residents reported pictures falling off the wall and the ground moving beneath their feet during a strong magnitude 6.0 earthquake in the Gulf of Mexico that sent shockwaves from Louisiana to Central Florida.
Walt Disney World employee Sue Denison wrote Local 6 News and said she heard something strange and then felt a shaking that went on for much longer than the sonic boom when the shuttle makes a landing.
