Tsunami’s warnings issued after a powerful coarse gross earthquake, the Caribbean Sea has been canceled, said US Geological Survey (USGS).
The managers say that the epicenter of the earthquake was around 20 miles (32.1 km) north of Honduras and 130 miles (209.2 km) southwest of the Cayman islands when it struck on Saturday evening, local time.
The American tsunami alert system initially issued warnings to more than a dozen countries – including waves up to three meters (10 feet). But he said later that the threat had passed.
Opinions were also issued by the Tsunami warning system for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands after the earthquake – which were also canceled later.
The Government of the Cayman Islands had warned residents of the coastal areas to move inside land in a message on its website.
It is not known if there have been movements or damage on earth.
The earthquake has been the biggest to hit the region since 2021, When an earthquake of magnitude 7.2 struck HaitiAccording to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric American administration.
About three hours after the earthquake, the American authorities warned that “minor fluctuations in sea level” going up to 30 cm (11.8 inch) could still occur, but that any serious threat had passed.
The USGS said that large earthquakes at this location of the border of the plate are not unexpected.
In 2018, an earthquake of 7.5 coarse occurred nearby, causing damage and a small tsunami, he said.
“Fortunately, the distant location of these earthquakes limits the potential for significant damage due to the tremors,” he added.
In addition, National Tsunami Warning Center said that there was no alert for the continental American coast.
