Earthquake in Flagler County, Florida?

CFNews is reporting that residents of on Florida county believe they were hit by an earthquake this morning, although authorities say there was no recorded seismic activity in the area:

News 13 has received several calls from residents in Flagler County reporting their homes began to shake Friday morning.

Flagler Emergency Operations Center said they are investigating some sort of incident in the Palm Coast area.

The residents said their foundations shook.

Calls came all over Flagler County reporting the “tremor”, however, the United States Geological  Survey reports no seismic activities in the area.

Spokesman Carl Laundrie says Flagler’s emergency operations center received at least nine calls from residents who reported feeling the rumbling Friday.

“At approximately 9:30 a.m. this morning the Flagler County 911 Center received calls from residents of rumbling, trembling, or minor shaking of the ground from Palm Coast and Bunnell. Some reports indicated the sensations were felt, while others reported hearing booming sounds. Emergency Management verified through the United States Geological Survey, the National Weather Service, and the Florida Division of Emergency Management there were no known reports or activities capable of causing this incident. Possible military off-shore activities may have caused these sensations. There is no damage or injuries as a result and therefore no further actions required.”

A Flagler County school official said they will investigate whether area schools felt the rumbling.

News 13 contacted the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, but they are not reporting any bombing range activities.

One resident in the Pine Lakes area reported on News 13’s Facebook page her glass windows and sliding glass door vibrating and said there was an “unmistakable roaring rumbling” noise.

Another reported on Twitter, their windows rattled at around 9:30 a.m.

What was it? Right now no one knows but officially it wasn’t an earthquake. Just a bunch of people who felt the earth quake beneath them.

  1. If it was a bunch of helicopters then why did it only affect an area that looks like its from a flash light at an angle. And more people would of said, those were only helicopters. Some say that it went on for about 30 minutes. That is alot of flying helicopters for no one to see them.

    My theory is HAARP.

  2. Personally not buying into ‘possible’ military exercises; aquifer collapse? then WHERE is the reports out there of MAJOR water loss, phone calls coming in reporting water shortages, you know? Not seeing those reports; just ‘spin’ and deflection of what really occurred here.
