In Mobay at Whittier Plaza... rock-'n'-roll!
Everyone fine here
Hut at WS was shaking back and forth.
I was lying in bed and thought, that's it, I got to cut out the rum, and then I remembered, I have anything to drink in a couple days. I got out of my room immediately.
all just be sure to watch the waters edge just in case, maybe move to higher ground for the remainder of the afternoon.

Take care friends! Sending prayers.
It appears the tremors were much stronger while we were in Montego Bay yesterday.
We had stopped at a casino bar after some Progressive store grocery shopping...while sitting on a big, comfy chair, my butt started to wobble...the gaming machines, tables and walls started shaking...I thought a huge truck convoy was going by the building, except we weren't near a highway...the lady behind me yelled out "what the h*ll is going on"...I said that it seems to be an earthquake...Rob came strolling over to us, beer in hand and told us everyone is leaving the building...we moved away from the swaying light fixtures...lady decided she might win on the machines now that everyone had mass exited...a couple of minutes passed and it was over!!
What about Negril, is everything ok there ?
BikerMike...some people felt the tremors in Negril...but it was definitely much stronger in Montego Bay.Quote:
