The words “Florida” and “earthquake” don’t normally appear in the same sentence, but authorities say they’re collecting reports from Floridians who felt the 4.0 magnitude earthquake that hit about 100 miles east of Cape Canaveral just before 11 pm Wednesday night.
More than 80 reports of shaking have been received so far, and while it’s unusual, a Florida earthquake isn’t unheard of. A 5.9 magnitude quake in 2006 was felt in Florida and other states.
