Earthquakes in the DR
Here in Jarabacoa at exactly 8:13 for about 10-15 seconds. Both my wife and I felt it, more like a vibration.
I sent a note to my wife before coming on line.
Well felt here in Santiago (the area between Santiago and Tamboril)
A good 3-4 seconds with things moving--lamps and furniture.
It should show up on the NGS page pretty soon. I would guess a 4 point something...

That's the way it should be. Generally, the shallower the quake the more the forces are transferred to the surface. So even smaller quakes can be felt over a wide area.
More likely to feel it if seated or leaning against something. I was walking across the floor and if the wife hand't said anything (she was sitting on the couch) I would have missed it.
Shook us pretty good in Gaspar Hernandez. First time in 15 years that I called the kids into the safe room in our home.
Usually they are a quick shake but this one went on for about 5-10 seconds. I was sitting at my computer and felt the chair start to sway and it grew stronger. Strongest I have felt . The Haiti shake in 2010 I didn't feel but this one I did . Was a bit nerve racking this time.
