Biggest one I've ever felt down here! Heard it before I felt it.

At what level do we worry about tsunamis

When you look at the maps, it looks much closer than that to Anegada. Walker just confirmed that it was 3.8 miles north of Cow Wreck.

Nothing of note here at Oil Nut Bay. Couple small rocks fell from hillsides down onto the road but that was it.

Friends felt it on St. John. We were already on the water for a 10AM start of the Commodore's Cup Regatta.

Cheers, RickG
