I thought that I would start a thread for discussing felt earthquakes. If you are in Dominica and have felt an earthquake, please report it here. Provide as much information as you possibly can. Below is some of the information you can include in order to present a good picture of what you felt. If there was damage, photographs would surely help too:

Your location (town or village)
Where were you? (indoors, outdoors, in a car)
If indoors, what type of building was it?(wood, concrete, multi-floor)
What were you doing? (sitting, standing, sleeping, driving, walking)
If asleep, did the quake wake you?
