I was sitting in the loo. Felt like a truck hit the house. But without the crash sound.
There's a explanation on 'missing' quakes here on the US Geological site. About halfway down.

Would anyone know when was the last time that any earthquake in the DR or DR north coast made some significant damages?
6.4 September 22 2003.
A few residents posted damage to their properties in earlier threads.
You can then go back to the big one in 1946 near Samana at 8.1 which caused a great deal of damage throughout the country including North Coast with a tsunami with reported waves between 8'and 16'.

Thanks guys. Looking at the earthquake fault map for DR it does look unstable to say the least. I am a bit surprised but thankful that big ones do not occur more often.
I have experienced a big one once in my life but the risk (percentage) to be close to another big earthquake/tsunami again must be very slim.

'experts' say that we are like 50 years overdue for a big one in DR, also eastern caribbean is overdue.....their records show big earthquakes and tsunamis every 300 years or so...........i also watched some stuff last night on youtube about the northern california thing..................someone is going to get it at some stage.
