I felt it in Cabarete & a friend in Santiago felt it, too.

Checked my botellon & water was sloshing around. That's my confirmation machine... not high tech, but works

PJT felt it here in Bavaro, heard a loud snap and then the floor swayed under his swivel chair for a few brief seconds . The time noted was 13:14 hours.
