BEIJING, Sept. 11 (Xinhuanet) -- A magnitude 6.0
earthquake shaked the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday and sent shock waves across the
southeastern United States, but no damage was reported, the U.S. Geological
Survey (USGS) said.
The tremor hit at 10:56 a.m. EDT (14:56 GMT), lasting about
20 seconds, and was felt in parts of Florida, Louisiana, Georgia and
Alabama.
The quake was
centered about 420 kilometers southwest of Tampa and the USGS said it received more than 2,000
reports from as far away as North Carolina. But the quake was too small
to trigger a tsunami warning.
Scientists said Sunday's quake was the largest
and most widely felt of more than a dozen earthquakes recorded in the eastern
Gulf of Mexico in the last 30 years.
USGS geophysicist Jessica Sigala said residents along the
Gulf and as far north as northern Georgia reported feeling the ground shake but
there were no reports of damage or casualties on land. Enditem
