A powerful 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck the Caribbean north of Honduras on Saturday,

sending shockwaves across the region and prompting immediate concern. The earthquake,

which was recorded by the German Research Center for Geosciences, occurred at precisely

6:23 p.m. EST. The tremor, felt by residents in several nearby areas,

caused panic and prompted authorities to assess potential damage. The US Geological Survey

confirmed the earthquake’s severity and location, marking it as a significant seismic event

in the region. In response to the tremor, the US Tsunami Warning System quickly issued

advisories for the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, alerting residents and officials to the possibility of a tsunami.

With the potential for aftershocks and ongoing concerns about a tsunami, local and national

authorities continue to monitor the situation closely. Emergency response teams have been mobilized to assess the situation,

provide assistance, and ensure public safety. As authorities gather more information,

they are urging communities to remain cautious and prepared for any further developments.
