Eastern Caribbean Hit by Multiple Strong Atlantic Earthquakes

News summary

A significant earthquake swarm began near the Leeward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean, with multiple strong earthquakes recorded, including a 6.7 magnitude quake followed by a 6.5 and 6.0 magnitude tremors occurring within a short time frame. These quakes were felt across several Caribbean islands such as Guadeloupe, Dominica, Antigua, St. Vincent, and the Grenadines, but no immediate damage or injuries have been reported. The University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre is closely monitoring the activity, noting that aftershocks are expected and highlighting the ongoing tsunami threat this seismic activity represents to the Caribbean, Bahamas, and potentially the U.S. East Coast. The US Geological Survey confirmed the quakes' epicenters were located in the Atlantic Ocean east of Guadeloupe at depths ranging from 6 to 29 kilometers. Despite the intensity and frequency of these tremors, no tsunami warnings have been issued so far, providing some relief to the affected communities. The situation remains under observation as authorities continue to assess seismic risks in the region.
