Hold on to your hats, football fans! Just as England’s squad arrived in Florida to kick off their World Cup campaign, the Sunshine State had a bit of a rumble! A 6.1 magnitude earthquake shook things up, striking off the coast of Cuba and sending tremors right through Orlando and beyond. 🏠🌍
The shake-up was felt not only in Orlando but also reached as far as Miami and Jacksonville, causing quite a stir. Buildings were evacuated as a precaution when they started swaying—talk about an unexpected welcome for our lads across the pond!
Thankfully, the National Weather Service assured there’s no tsunami risk for the U.S. coast. The earthquake struck about six miles deep in the southern Gulf, according to the US Geological Survey. 🌊😌
This seismic activity is linked to the Oriente fault zone near Cuba’s southeast coast, notorious for big quakes like the 7.7 one back in January 2020. But for now, it’s all safe and sound. Hopefully, the only thing shaking from now on will be England’s opponents on the pitch! ⚽️🇬🇧
Stay tuned for more updates, and fingers crossed for England to make waves where it really matters—on the field! #WorldCup #QuakeInFlorida #EnglandSquad
