Earthquake today on the Island

From a friend living on the island-
'Holy Cow, we just had an earthquake here in St Barts! At 3:30PM on a Saturday ! It felt like a jet was passing 10' over our heads or a trash truck was driving across the patio. No damage that we know of but real scary! Oh well, back to sun and the pool (and maybe a rum drink).'

How frequently do these occur on the island as we have never experienced one there?


I am originally from California and remember earthquakes well.
 
Quite a few.
