Florida is not located near a tectonic plate boundary, which is where most earthquakes occur. While Florida can experience small, mostly unfelt earthquakes called "microearthquakes," a large, damaging earthquake is highly unlikely due to its location in the middle of the North American Plate.
Florida is primarily in the seismically inactive zone of Zone 0. However, certain areas of the state, such as the southern tip of the state, are located near the boundary of Zone 1, which has a low probability of experiencing earthquakes.
Yes, One will probably occur eventually.
There is no way of predicting an earthquake, but it is unlikely that a major earthquake will strike a location on any given day. The San Andreas Fault probably isn't capable of generating something as large as an 8.9.
Yes, Florida does experience earthquakes, but they are rare and usually minor in magnitude. The last significant earthquake to occur in Florida was in 2006, with a magnitude of 6.0 near the Gulf of Mexico.

Florida
It is 'technically' impossible to predict if an earthquake is going to happen.
The magnitude 9.0 Japan earthquake in 2011 was not felt in Florida but the waves from the tsunami did reach the coast of Hawaii.You can visit the USGS Did-you-feel-it web site to check if people reported an earthquake in your area.
According to the US Geological Survey, each state has some. Florida and North Dakota have fewer than the other states but Florida has more hurricanes. The last earthquake in Florida was in 1952 and the last earthquake in North Dakota was 1968.
I heard while back that the state of Florida is the least likely to have an earthquake. But Hurricanes...that's another story.
Earthquake: It was felt in NW Florida as well.
The Benefits of knowing when an earthquake is going to happen is that scientists can warn everyone in advance.
he is going to sing in urbutt,florida.
No
mostly likely
Florida has experienced numerous earthquakes throughout its history, but they are generally quite mild, resulting in little damage or injuries. The link below gives you a history of recorded Florida earthquakes.
