Water in the pool sloshed around some. We definitely felt it stronger than the 2010 Haiti quake.

This is the 2nd recorded (4.0+) tremor in the same area in the past few weeks. A large quake anywhere along this fault that runs through the middle of the island (sort of) will have effects just about everywhere in the country, at least no large waves to add to the potential problems.

Worth noting and maybe considering when it comes time to spend a 100 pesos on a beer, or maybe a couple extra bottles of water.
