CFNews is reporting that residents of on Florida county believe they were hit by an earthquake this morning, although authorities say there was no recorded seismic activity in the area:

News 13 has received several calls from residents in Flagler County reporting their homes began to shake Friday morning.

Flagler Emergency Operations Center said they are investigating some sort of incident in the Palm Coast area.

The residents said their foundations shook.

Calls came all over Flagler County reporting the “tremor”, however, the United States Geological  Survey reports no seismic activities in the area.

Spokesman Carl Laundrie says Flagler’s emergency operations center received at least nine calls from residents who reported feeling the rumbling Friday.

“At approximately 9:30 a.m. this morning the Flagler County 911 Center received calls from residents of rumbling, trembling, or minor shaking of the ground from Palm Coast and Bunnell. Some reports indicated the sensations were felt, while others reported hearing booming sounds. Emergency Management verified through the United States Geological Survey, the National Weather Service, and the Florida Division of Emergency Management there were no known reports or activities capable of causing this incident. Possible military off-shore activities may have caused these sensations. There is no damage or injuries as a result and therefore no further actions required.”

A Flagler County school official said they will investigate whether area schools felt the rumbling.

News 13 contacted the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, but they are not reporting any bombing range activities.

One resident in the Pine Lakes area reported on News 13’s Facebook page her glass windows and sliding glass door vibrating and said there was an “unmistakable roaring rumbling” noise.

Another reported on Twitter, their windows rattled at around 9:30 a.m.

What was it? Right now no one knows but officially it wasn’t an earthquake. Just a bunch of people who felt the earth quake beneath them.

A fast breeding population of hogs is the last thing a city or suburb needs – especially after a disaster of some kind.

Neighbors in a Dallas suburb have certainly felt that way since seeing their well-manicured lawns uprooted and sprinkler systems destroyed by packs of hefty feral hogs — beasts that once caused problems mainly for Texas farmers and ranchers.

“I think people expect this to be a rural problem,” Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples said Thursday in Irving, where the city has captured nearly 250 feral hogs since October when they first were discovered roaming around. “This shows that in rural and urban Texas … the lines that divide us are fewer and fewer.”

Arlington and Dallas are among cities along the Trinity River that also have reported problems with wild hogs that weigh several hundred pounds, Staples said.

[…]

Although not all feral hogs have tusks, for years the animals have been a menace in rural areas by shredding cornfields, eating calves and damaging fruit trees — even breaking through barbed-wire fences, said Texas Farm Bureau spokesman Gene Hall. They also wreck ecosystems by wallowing in riverbeds and streams.

“They can do more damage than a bulldozer,” Hall said.

Which means you need to have plans in place to deal with them in the event that city services are no longer active. This means killing them – and finding something to do with 300+ pounds of pig that may or may not be edible depending on the age, sex and habits of the animal. I’ve heard male hogs are nearly inedible but I never had one so who knows.
