Powerful Earthquake Hits Caribbean*

Last night I was buried in work and this morning I'm a bit of a rush to get to Uni! But.. I think this earthquake (or tremor depending on which island you're in) is worth just a really quick post.

Here's an excerpt from Barbados' CBC website:

"Several Caribbean islands were jolted Thursday when a powerful 7.3 per cent earthquake centred 25 miles south of Dominica hit the islands, sending thousands of people scampering from shaking buildings.

According to the University of the West Indies Seismic Centre, the earthquake, centred at 14.9 north, 61.2 west, affected Martinique, Dominica, St Lucia, Grenada, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Antigua and Barbuda, St Kitts and Nevis, Guadeloupe and Anguilla. There were also reports of tremors as far south as Guyana and as far north as Puerto Rico."
