Magnitude-7.4 earthquake rocks Caribbean

FORT-DE-FRANCE, Martinique: A powerful earthquake rocked the eastern Caribbean on Thursday, damaging buildings and panicking residents, some of whom were hurt when they jumped from windows of buildings.

The magnitude-7.4 earthquake was centered 14 miles (23 kilometers) northwest of Martinique's coastline and lasted longer than 20 seconds. It collapsed the roofs of a bank and a store in the capital of this French island and left cracks in several other buildings.

I was in the bedroom this afternoon when I started to hear a weird sound and then it felt like the house was shaking...I thought it was some sort of construction on our apartment. I went out on the deck and it was just a rockin' and the tv was shaking so much I thought it was going to fall on the floor. The stuff on top of the TV shook right off. When Dave came home he was so excited, he was so thrilled to now be able to say that not only has he been around a hurricane but also now an earthquake! He said he was at the school studying outside and his desk started shaking and it was like a ride! Another experience to caulk up on a great experience!
