PALM COAST, Fla. - Investigators are trying to solve a bizarre mystery in Flagler County. A wave of people called 911 around 9:30am Friday to report the ground shaking in Flagler County. The calls all came from the Hammock area of Palm Coast (see map).
However, people in the north Daytona area, as well as in Deltona and as far north as St. Augustine, said they felt it as well. Many people were worried that the shaking was an earthquake.
The Emergency Management Office was on the phone all day trying to figure out the cause of the shaking. Residents said that buildings were shaking, and even a dispatcher in the county felt it happen.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- The ground shook briefly this morning, but nobody seems quite sure why.
First Coast News has received several calls, as has the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, about two tremors felt this morning around 9:30.
Sheriff's deputies are among those who reported feeling the shaking, and the Associated Press reported the tremors were felt in Flagler County as well.
A geologist at the University of Florida said nothing showed up on any earthquake detecting equipment.
The cause of the shaking is speculation at this point, but the sheriff's office said the sensation was stronger near the ocean.
No damage has been reported.
