There were 2 earthquakes around 3:00 am as well.
Somebody needs to tell Mother Nature that Jonah has left the BVI, although judging from the weather there she may know he is back already, and has just forgotten that he left the BVI.
Anegada has an underwater volcano and the ridge it sits in is very active. Just a little early morning jolt to liven up y’all lazy souls….

I wrote better accounts of these earthquakes to my family at 7 am, what an embarrassing news story. Come on man!
A earthquake need to come take everything from the bvi
Those are the most wicked ppl I ever saw
Them don’t like there neighbors
The don’t like expats
Praying everyday for the UK to take over the bvi
I feel so sorry for you. Haters like you have only one destiny. I declare and decree that God blesses the BVI and God help us all!!
Never return evil with evil. Who do you think you hurt by wishing evil for anybody. You bring damnation on yourself. What you wish for others might turn right back at you. You better ask God to forgive you
I hope you are not living in BVI to make such an awful wish on it. And while I am at it, may I please ask that you refrain from making such general statements about Virgins Islanders? You have not met, neither have you interacted with all of us, so I am offended!
no matter what an article is about, it always got a moo moo out there to blog rubbish and hate
There’s a possibility that these quakes are being caused by the Fracking (Oil Drilling) that’s being done off the coast of Puerto Rico.
