Powerful Earthquake Hits Caribbean

1 hour ago

ROSEAU, Dominica (AP) — A powerful earthquake rocked the eastern
Caribbean on Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey said. No damage was
immediately reported.

The earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.3, was centered 23 miles
southeast of Roseau, the capital of Dominica, where the shaking lasted
for about 20 seconds. The quake was felt as far away as Puerto Rico.

The quake struck at 2 p.m. EST at a depth of 90 miles beneath the
surface of the Earth, according to the geological survey's Web site.


Becky felt it! I was just out of an exam, and wasn't really noticing
anything. We're okay. No apparent damage around here.

Cheers!
