Earthquake felt in Roatan

Last Saturday night Cindy and I were laying on the couch watching TV (I know tough to imagine I would be doing that).

We felt the whole house shake and then stop and were like what was that. Well after thinking about it for a second and going outside I said Earthquake. Turned out the next day after talking to some other folks they felt it too.

This AM I checked the earthquake site at www.usgs.gov and confimred things.
