In Florida and South Georgia, we don’t generally feel earthquakes, as we have a deep sandstone layer just below the surface. This acts like a shock absorber dampening out the shock waves of an earthquake.
“...Although Florida is not usually considered to be a state subject to earthquakes, several minor shocks have occurred there and other more earthquake prone States, such as South Carolina, can cause earthquakes that can be felt in Florida.
“In January 1880, Cuba was the center of two strong earthquakes that sent severe shock waves through the town of Key West, Florida. The tremors occurred at 11 p.m. on January 22 and at 4 a.m. on the 23rd. At Buelta Abajo and San Christobal, Cuba, many buildings were thrown down and some people were killed.Charleston, South Carolina
