Florida is synonymous with hurricanes, and most residents are familiar with the natural disaster that plagues the Sunshine State. Florida is not usually considered to be a state prone to earthquakes, but minor shocks have happened, and tremors from outside the state have been felt here. The most recent one that happened in Florida was a magnitude 1.8 that struck just outside Jay, Florida, in September 2020. What about the earthquake in Cuba felt in South Florida? “It’s one of only five or six earthquakes of magnitude 5 or greater that we’re aware of in the entire Gulf.”
