Stephen P. Clark Government Center in downtown Miami was evacuated after shaking from a 6.1-magnitude earthquake off Cuba reached the city.
Two attached transit stops — the Metrorail and Metromover Government Center stations — were shut down, with trains later bypassing them as deputies taped off the area.
Miami officials said shaking was reported across the city, while no significant injuries or major property damage had been reported.
The quake struck about 65 miles west of Mantua, Cuba, and was felt across Florida, prompting precautionary evacuations beyond Miami-Dade.
