superjames1992 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Ended up with 1.15" of rain here. Not bad! Had a nice storm in the wee hours of the morning, as well, with some nice flashes of lightning as I lied in bed. Filled the pool up to the very top edge, although the temperature of the pool is in the upper 60s, so I won't be getting in, regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebreaker5221 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The storm was pretty intense down here. One tornado report in Miami-Dade, one in Broward. Saw a few large branches down on my drive home today, with several stop lights without power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flwxwatcher45 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I was curious after the Japan Tsunami, if Florida had a chance of one. After doing a search it seems the chances are slim. The East Coast it appears has a better chance when a chunk of a mountain in the Canary Islands may fall into the Atlantic Ocean one day when a Volcano erupts again. I did find interesting this link from the Tampa NWS talking about the Strongest quake to strike Florida. I didn't realize Florida had an earthquake before. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/images/tbw/TopNews/PDF/Tsunami.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I even found out about the quake itself. I think we take for granted that there are no tsunamis here. I don't know if there are any fault lines capable of producing tsunami near the DR, but it's still something to keep an eye on when that area gets another big quake.

Good point, I forgot about the area around Hati. I did a search and found that in 1946 a 8.0 earthquake near Hispaniola caused a tsunami that left 20,000 people homeless. I also found that scientists predict a major tsunami tsunami is likely in the Northern Caribbean and Florida could feel some affects from it. An earthquake in that northern part of the Caribbean could generate waves up to 40 feet high and threaten the lives of up to 35.5 million people living in coastal areas. Smaller waves could reach Florida, the Gulf of Mexico and as far north as New Jersey. http://www.greenanti...or-puerto-rico/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in a crowded bar watching NFL football. They scrolled it across the screen that there was a earthquake off of Tampa. I remember everyone just looking at each other and saying "earthquake"??

I do remember in 2006 when the news said a 5.8 quake hit 260 miles off the coast and some people reported feeling the quake. I am about 40 miles or so inland and didn't feel a thing.
