Default I felt the earth move

Having my Sunday morn coffee this morn lamenting the rain cuz I wanted
to go sailing and felt a sorta wavy motion, it was two distinct waves
and maybe a few smaller ones a few secs later. I've never felt an
earthquake and we arent s'posed to have em here in Tallahassee, FL but
I knew this wasnt a passing truck. It was very slight but unmistakable
and I thought "Earthquake?, maybe I ought go on the net and check some
seismometers" but I didnt. Now I see that there was a Mag. 6 about 200
miles west of Bradenton out in the Gulf. That'd put it about 300 miles
due south of here.
