Tsunami Warning As 7.6-magnitude Earthquake Strikes In Major Travel Destination

According to the German Research Center for Geosciences, a huge 7.6-magnitude earthquake shook the Caribbean on Saturday, just north of Honduras.

According to the US Geological Survey, the earthquake occurred at 6:23 p.m. EST. Following the earthquake, the US Tsunami Warning System issued advisories for the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

However, the tsunami advisory for the corresponding regions was canceled by San Juan’s National Weather Service at 8:13 p.m.

After first estimating the magnitude of the powerful Caribbean earthquake to be somewhat lower at 6.89, GFZ stated that it really occurred at a depth of 6.21 miles.

The US Tsunami Warning System issued a number of warnings after the earthquake, including one for the Caribbean Sea and the area immediately north of Honduras.

Following the earthquake, a tsunami warning was issued for Puerto Rico and the USVI, although it has since been revoked because of the possibility that sea level changes and powerful ocean currents might have posed a risk to beaches, harbors, and coastal waters.

Moving out of the water, off the beach, and away from harbors, marinas, bays, and inlets is still urged for residents of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

The story is still evolving.
