Am I back on the boat? Strong, very long tremor.

**alanamosteller** · 12-02-2010, 12:57 AM

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

**Nidsstese** · 12-02-2010, 12:57 AM

EQ just now, felt in Cabarete. Building swayed about 5-6 seconds, chandelier & ceiling fans still swaying. Was a smooth rolling motion, not a big bump.

My chair was going moving sideways. Wall hangings still moving a bit. Hope that's it!!

We just had a nice little earthquake here in Santiago, earth shook pretty good for nearly a full minute.

Any guesses as to what the richter reading will be? I am guessing 5.5 or thereabouts.

**mikeydesignzinc** · 12-02-2010, 12:59 AM

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

**Phoneemer** · 12-02-2010, 12:59 AM

Was sitting at my computer when in my 2nd floor apartment when the building started moving from side to side and the window shades started flapping, as though in a breeze.

Took me a moment to realize it was an earth tremor and that I wasn't back on the cruising sailboat that was my home for about 16 years.

This is the strongest since the earth quake a few years ago. How widespread was it?

**WepKeyday** · 12-02-2010, 01:00 AM

Felt it here in Santiago...went outside and the car was moving...shaking back and forth...lasted at least 45 seconds, maybe more...

**cinggooft** · 12-02-2010, 01:01 AM

Really short in Cabarete, but not pleasant!

**Phoneemer** · 12-02-2010, 01:01 AM

in costambar too. strong and long. i feel very dizzy - motion sickness kicked in...

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

**Mehntswx** · 12-02-2010, 01:02 AM

We just felt it. I guess it was little over 6. I hope it wasn't only the pre-quake

My friend in Sosua felt it also.

The Hun

Damn, it's still going on!!

**johnbeller** · 12-02-2010, 01:02 AM

I'm in Cabarete in a third floor apartment. It felt like I was getting sea sick and my lamp was swinging back and forth. Very uncomfortable!

**CxofxJFm** · 12-02-2010, 01:02 AM

we got it here in santo domingo too

**BigBobdd** · 12-02-2010, 01:03 AM

Same here. Water in pool has been moving in big waves. Chandelier making circles. Dogs barking, seemingly at nothing.

Remind me please what i am supposed to do?

hide under my desk?

most taken from the nuclear attack drills when i was kid.. which I already knew at age 8 were stupid

**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
