Florida 'Earthquake' Caused By 10,000-Pound Navy Bomb

A mysterious “earthquake” detected off the Florida coast over the weekend was actually the result of testing by the U.S. Navy, U.S. Geological Survey officials report.

Seismographs as far away as Minnesota, Texas and Oklahoma registered a 3.7 magnitude event around 4 p.m. Saturday, about 168 nautical miles east-northeast of Daytona Beach Shores, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported.

But it appears those readings were triggered by a manmade explosion designed to test the seaworthiness of a new U.S. Navy vessel, the USS Jackson.
