We had an earthquake last night!

According to the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Unit (http://www.uwiseismic.com/), on Thursday morning 13th September at 2:37 a.m. local time, an earthquake occurred northeast of Saint Lucia. The preliminary location for the event is 14.28°N 60.41°W. The focal depth was approximately 57 km. The magnitude is 4.9.

The funny thing is, I don't remember it at all. When I got to work, it was all the buzz and people all felt it. I called Ramzi and he said that he didn't remember until I mentioned it, but apparently we both woke about when our room was shaking and talked about it... and then fell back asleep. Isabel slept through the whole thing.
