England’s World Cup camp in Florida hit by tremors from 6.1 magnitude earthquake


England‘s makeshift Florida camp was rocked by a 6.1 magnitude earthquake, with buildings evacuated in Orlando – where the Three Lions will play against Costa Rica on Wednesday. 

Local reports have not recorded any damage or injuries, but several videos on social media show movement of furniture and some shaking.

Thomas Tuchel & Co’s preparations may have likely been rocked however, with shockwaves from the earthquake off the coast of Cuba, felt in Florida hundreds of miles away. 

An earthquake of this magnitude has not struck the region since 1880, when a 6.0 tremor hit near San Cristobal, Cuba. 

Holiday destinations in Mexico including Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Tulum were also affected, with emergency protocols activated in the Yucatan and Quintana Roo states, though both governors reported no damage on social media. Tremors were even felt at Disney World in Orlando.
