They're checking rumors of damage.
Anything that came down with this tremor was on the way down before

I only remember one we had and I didn't realize what it was until it was over. Our 200+ year old house made the weirdest noise. I thought the furnace was getting ready to blow up. Guess you don't have furnace problems in Jamaica you lucky dog.

It scared some folks in your state
Sometimes I hear on the news that there was a tremor in Jamaica. I think I read that there were about ninety of them last year. I remember one in 2016 - not sure I felt one last year.
