BREAKING: Rare magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck 73 miles NW of Cuba in the southern Gulf. Shaking reported all over central Florida.
The previous strongest earthquakes recorded in the Gulf were magnitude 5.8 (in 2006) and 5.9 (in 2006, intraplate). Earthquakes above magnitude 5 are rare for the region, making a 6.4 practically unprecedented in recorded history for the Gulf itself.

See power lines hanging low today? It’s likely the snow.
Wet, heavy snow can weigh down power lines and make them appear lower than usual. Power lines are designed to handle this type of weather, and some sagging is expected during heavy snow events.
We appreciate customers letting us know. If you see lines that look unusually low, damaged or in contact with trees or other objects please give us a call at 253-502-8602 and provide a location so we can check it out.
Our crews might need more valuable information from you, so please answer your phone if we call you back. The number will start with 253-502.
Our crews will respond to outages and monitor conditions across our service area as the winter weather conditions continue.
You may have heard the potential for lowland snowfall tonight into Friday. This graphic summarizes the complicated weather setup that exists. Please keep us updated with what you're seeing in your backyard through tomorrow. You can submit observations through the mPing app! #WAwx
