Caribbean Earthquake Triggers Tsunami Advisory
ai generated text
The 7.6-magnitude earthquake occurred approximately 20 miles north of Honduras and 130 miles south-west of the Cayman Islands on Saturday. The US Tsunami Warning System initially issued warnings to over a dozen countries, predicting waves of up to three meters, but later lifted the warnings by 9 p.m., stating the threat had passed. A 0.1-foot wave was recorded off the coast of Mexico.
Luckily, the remote location of these earthquakes limits the potential for significant damage due to shaking.
