An earthquake was just felt at Walt Disney World, a rarity for the Florida-based theme park. Preliminary data suggest that there was a 6.1 magnitude earthquake about 65 miles WNW of Mantua, Cuba. The quake could be felt throughout Florida, including at the Walt Disney World Resort. The earthquake occurred at 2pm sharp, and the tremors were felt in Central Florida just about a minute or so later.
