Earthquake felt in Florida???????

Gulf of Mexico earthquake felt in Southeast US - Yahoo! News

I must admit I am perplexed at this. Reading all the stories and I realize I may have in fact felt it a little. I was cleaning up getting ready for a day of football (which ended up ugly). It's important to note that there is a train track directly behind my house and I hear/feel the rumble thru here sometimes a few times a day. I remember hearing a rumble, feeling the rumble as I normally do. Sometimes it rumbles real good if its a train full of freight. But now thinking back, I don't remember hearing the horn from the train. Usually the rumble from the train lasts many minutes. This was only about 10 seconds. While actively posting in my football threads, someone posted about a quake in the gulf and I was thinking "wtf this got to do with football, put down yer pipe dude.."

Natural phenomenon interests me to a certain degree, but quakes always scared me. Now I hope I wont have the opportunity to live thru one....
