[At-Large] 7.3 earthquake in southern caribbean

[Jacqueline A. Morris]

It was strong and LONG. Usually we have a lot of small ones, so when it
started, people were just  cool, but then it continued on and on and then it
intensified and the building started rocking and tables started moving and
people got panicky. We evacuated the University, and they checked for
damage. (not much, mainly broken stuff inside) The Financial towers
apparently have some damage, according to the radio. And I'm 400 miles away.
I  haven't heard anything from Martinique or St Lucia yet, which apparently
were the closest. Hopefully everything is OK there.
For a lot of data on it - www.iris.edu  click on the Seismic Monitor
The strongest since 1974 - I remember that one. I was 9!
