Earthquake with 7.6-magnitude hits Caribbean!

Massive 7.6 magnitude earthquake strikes in the Caribbea between the coast of Honduras and the Cayman Islands on Tuesday night. It was registered at 20:50 local time. One of the strongest earthquakes in modern times struck off the coast of Honduras on Tuesday night, shaking the mainland and setting off tsunami warnings. The earthquake was felt across northern Central America, briefly prompting a tsunami warning in Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean Islands. There were no early reports of serious damage or casualties on land. Officials in Honduras said that there were some reports of cracks in homes in Colon and Atlantida provinces along the northern coast and Olancho in eastern Honduras. The tremor occurred in the sea between the island of Cuba and the coasts of Honduras and Belize. This is sparsely populated, with much of it covered by nature reserves. The tremor was about 44 kilometres east of Honduras's Swan Islands, which are unpopulated except for a small navy post. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center initially warned that tsunami waves of up to 1 meter (3 feet) above tide level could hit parts of Honduras, Belize, Puerto Rico, the Cayman Islands, San Andres and Providencia (Colombia), Jamaica, Cuba, among others. However, two hours after the quake, the threat passed, and all tsunami advisories connected with the quake were withdrawn. President Juan Orlando Hernandez via Twitter said that Honduras had activated its emergency system and asked people to remain calm. The quake was also felt in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, north of Honduras
