Tornados, Water Spouts, Sun Dogs and Earthquakes....
It all started with the below sundog or 22 halo caused by ice particles in the air...
I realize that you can't tell from the pic that the dark circle took up a significant amount of the sky and looked like a UFO landing on Anguilla from some dooms day movie. Click the pic to get more info on this oddity caused by ice crystals in the air.
Right, ice crystals in the Caribbean.
Then a few days after that we had a several glorious water spouts and an actual, real, land based tornado.
Great pics of that on my Posterous site or check out the below video of the water spouts made a few hundred yards down the street from us.
Then a few days after that we had a 4.7 quake, although I for one didn't feel anything while being completely focused on my monitor at the time that was going down...
Outside of a few broken windows, neither the quake nor the tornado did any damage. The water spout/tornado thing was really scary as it went really close to our house and almost right over the kids school, which wasn't conducive to me keeping calm.
Good thing we build only out of steel and concrete around here, eh?

Those were awesome pictures and can understand why you were scared!! I almost jumped out of my chair! Haven't seen anything like it before! Wonder what caused it! Must have given our geologists a lot to work on!! I am sure we are the cause of all these new phenomenal occurrences around us!! It is a relief that it didn't turn of to be dangerous and that no lives were lost!! The water spouts looked really sinister, I tell you!!
