An earthquake has hit in Orlando, Florida, as residents report shaking on Tuesday.

National Weather Service Miami-South Florida said: "We've received several recent reports of shaking across Southwestern Florida within the past 30 minutes. An earthquake has occurred just west of Cuba in the southern Gulf.

"@USGS_Quakes has since revised the magnitude down to a 6.1 at a depth of 10km."

The NWS Jacksonville said there is no tsunami threat, but that it has received reports of shaking/tremors as far north as Jacksonville. Tampa has also reportedly been hit.

Multiple buildings in Miami were apparently evacuated due to shaking.

One video shared online from a Florida resident shows his home shaking.
