Earthquake in Cayman

Update at 12:45 p.m.

The Earthquake has caused a few sinkholes on South Sound and apparently the buildings in George Town swayed a bit but we have no damage to our residence or to the college. Whether or not you felt the earthquake appears to be determined by if you were inside or not. The all clear has been given on the Island and no tsunami watch or warning was ever issued. They felt it at the college when it happened but other than being scary for those who felt it, nothing bad appears to have happened.

We wanted to let everyone know that we are just fine. Apparently there was a 5.8 magnitude earthquake about 30 miles off the coast of Grand Cayman this morning. We were out on our morning walk and didn't even realize it had happened. There are rampant rumors but we wanted you guys to know, since CNN just aired something, that we are just fine.
