A friend of mine was working in Trinidad this morning, and called me right after the second one. She was freaked out - said it felt pretty strong.

I was wondering if anyone felt them, now I know.

There were scientists who were curious about this as well. They actually found live Twitter data was quite helpful in tracking earthquakes. This is one of the big reasons I believe in keeping social media data open.
