A small but rare earthquake struck about 100 miles off Daytona Beach, Florida, in the Atlantic Ocean, reports the Associated Press.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the magnitude 3.7 earthquake struck around 4 p.m. Saturday. There are no reports of damage or that it was felt on land.
...The USGS says earthquakes of less than magnitude 5.4 rarely cause damage. There are about 930,000 such quakes recorded worldwide each year or about 2,500 per day.

Surf’s Up!
Things don't REALLY start to rock 'n roll until the Richter scale hits a 5.0. THEN, it's time to ROCK 'N ROLL!!
Clearly caused by Climate Change.
Fracking.
Why i won’t live there, tsunami safe zone.
One off the coast of Japan yesterday or the day before.

True, but this was Florida, so their earthquake had naked meth freaks running around trying to eat peoples' faces.
And of course, there were the alligators...
bad omen for obama......
Okay, it's Florida... So blame Jeb Bush.
Just another day in the Bermuda Triangle.

Lol! Good one.
The alligators might even be WORSE after they've eaten someone who has meth in his blood.
Worse, even, than "dykes on bikes."
Boy, if Florida started shaking the ground would look as though it were melting. Earthquakes and sand are not good company.
So Florida is going to become an island. I guess it’s globull warming. Omama can’t blame this on too many guns. But I’m sure he will try.
Last time I was in Miami I thought I was in another country. Last time I was in Key West I thought I was in San Francisco.
I remember even back in the 70s there was a bumper sticker that said, “Will the last American in Miami please bring the flag.”
Possible whale fart.
