Oops that was an earthquake
here in Kingston - could have been a four on the Richter scale - didn't last long but the windows vibrated and I felt it underfoot.

On the above is in the Gulf of Mexico, but another occurred in Southern Mexico:
Magnitude 4.6 - OFFSHORE CHIAPAS, MEXICO:

A series of small earthquakes occurred around Puerto Rico:
Magnitude 2.6 - PUERTO RICO REGION
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/pr10339000.php

Magnitude 3.2 - DOMINICAN REPUBLIC REGION:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/pr10339000.php

This is either a small earhtquake the USGS is NOT yet reporting, of the Mexican earthquake, all of the above are on the same fault line.
