A magnitude 6.1 earthquake off the northwest coast of Cuba led to reports of light shaking in parts of Florida on Monday afternoon, including in South Florida.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck about 65 miles to the west-northwest of Mantua, Cuba, which is to the west of Havana. The epicenter was about 376 miles from Miami.
"Shaking from the recent M6.1 earthquake offshore of Cuba was felt in Florida, where earthquakes are not commonly felt. Did you feel it? (If you're in the area and did not feel it, that's data too!)," USGS posted on X.
After the earthquake, Florida residents from Tampa and Orlando all the way to South Florida reported feeling shaking from the earthquake.
"The City of Miami is aware of a magnitude 6.1 earthquake that occurred off the coast of Cuba," the city said in a statement. "Resulting seismic activity was reportedly felt in several areas throughout the city, prompting multiple calls for service."
City officials said that Miami Fire-Rescue has responded to each reported incident.
"At this time, no significant injuries or major property damage have been reported, and all calls have been handled without further issue."

Earthquake in Cuba?
Karl Rove, you magnificent bastard!
... and did her signature “cannonball” dive.
Interesting thing to me...
I don’t think there have been any aftershocks.
6.1 earthquake is not that bad in places where they expect them (e.g. CA, Japan, Chile, Mexico).
But it could be devastating in Cuba, where the structures are already crumbling on their own due to neglect.
Any news from Cuba?
Don’t be ridiculous.
Did CBS blame Trump yet?
Give 'em time.
