Island residents awakened by 5.4 quake
The U.S. Geological Survey has tracked a fairly aggressive earthquake that literally shook residents out of bed at sunrise on Thursday. For about 30 seconds, Guam experienced a temblor that geophysicist Paul Hattori says registered 5.4 on the Richter Scale, the epicenter of which was only about 13 miles to the northeast of Hagatna.
He also notes that the intensity of the shaking was such that the USGS computer workstations that record data were knocked offline temporarily due to cards perhaps coming loose.
No damages or injuries have been reported.
