**WepKeyday** · 12-02-2010, 01:04 AM

I went outside which seems to be what everyone here did...freaked me out even more when I saw the car swaying...

**gluckmeea** · 12-02-2010, 01:04 AM

About five minutes ago everything started swaying for about 30 seconds or so. I got everyone out of the house.

Waiting for the after shock... keep you posted

i felt it to in santo domingo

**alanamosteller** · 12-02-2010, 01:05 AM

We just felt an earthquake here in Cabarete. Tables etc shook for about 4 seconds

Anyone know where epicenter was? Out in the Ocean, or on land. If in the ocean should we be worried???

**Nidsstese** · 12-02-2010, 01:05 AM

Early feedback looks like a magnitude 6 or 7 in haiti

**WepKeyday** · 12-02-2010, 01:05 AM

wow....from coast to coast... that's not normal! And I don't like the sound of "pre-quake"!!!

**Filling25** · 12-02-2010, 01:05 AM

A strong tremor was felt in the Cibao about 10 minutes ago.
I saw people from all over outside. Clinics, schools and apartments...

A major 6+ to be sure!!

Hope others realize that dv8 is not joking. I felt the onset of motion sickness, too, and I thought I had sea legs.

I was long, not too big but it was like being on my boat. Drapes moving and that feeling of being at sea.

From a guy that lived in CA for many years... this was a little different.

looks like the whole island is shaking.... slight tremor.. enough to send the chandeliers swaying

I am also in Santo Domingo resting in the hotel bed using my laptop. I felt and saw the bed shake a bit for a few seconds, thought I was really crazy and ignored it. Guess it was the quake...........LOL

**Rugda** · 12-02-2010, 01:06 AM

Lasted about 2 mins. Nothing serious so far.

**Kennypor** · 12-02-2010, 01:06 AM

I just felt what I think was an earthquake in Cabarete at 5:55.

I would guess the magnitude at 4 . Some ground movement back and forth.

Anyone else feel it?

I was just talking on the cell to a friend in Costambar when he shouted were having an earthquake when I noticed the light fixtures swaying back and forth, the water in the pool was swishing around as well...yikes

I didn't feel it in Punta Cana but our swimming pool did ! Waves in the pool !!

Anyone out there in Haiti that can give us a report from there

**karaburatoreror** · 12-02-2010, 01:11 AM

5:55 PM

Watching TV, my chair started rocking side-to-side, lasted quite awhile, perhaps 20-30 seconds.

It was a magnitude 7.3:

Magnitude 7.0 - HAITI REGION

Pretty amazing they can get the info out so quick.

Update, they just dropped it from 7.3 to 7.0

**Frjrbefd** · 12-02-2010, 01:12 AM

It seems mobile phone communication went down briefly shortly afterward, but seems to be mostly restored now.

TV says major problems in Haiti

**WepKeyday** · 12-02-2010, 01:13 AM

was the epicenter in Haiti? 7.3 is pretty major! Is there serious damage there?
