Seems like it lasted at least five seconds in Sosua on the 4th floor. Horizontal movement as opposed to the several previous vertical.

Yes it was not pleasant, the ground underneath my feet moved in our offices and everyone ran out, thank the Lord it was only a small one but all of us are very nervous

It was not only in Sosua, we are in Cabarete. What about other parts of the DR anyone else feel in in the South for example?

USGS Earthquake Hazards Program » USGS Earthquake Hazards Program this one? Doesn't seem to be on there yet. If at it will at all.

Same here, Cabarete (Costa Azul) wasnt to pleasant.
So far I can only see damage on the outdoor terras, it cracked around the pool.
