Caribbean Hit by Earthquake Felt as Far as Venezuela (Update1)
By Kelly Riddell and Steven Bodzin
Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) -- The most powerful earthquake to rock the eastern Caribbean in 33 years struck near the island of Martinique, sending shock waves felt from Puerto Rico to Venezuela. Minor damage and injuries were reported, the Associated Press said.
The magnitude-7.4 temblor occurred at 3 p.m. local time (2 p.m. New York time) 14 miles (23 kilometers) north-northwest of Saint-Pierre, Martinique, in the Windward Islands, the U.S. Geological Survey said on its Web site. The center was about 90 miles deep, the agency said. No tsunami alert was issued.
``The quake was felt widely throughout northern South America,'' Geological Survey seismologist Rafael Abreu said in an interview. ``We're getting tremor reports from Venezuela to San Juan, Puerto Rico.''
Heck yes we felt it! The tile floor beneath our feet moved in a wave motion and the walls of our concrete apt did a little rumbling. We were just hoping the pool above wouldn't crack and flood us out of our place.... luckily it didn't.... I guess we should stop praying for water... we might just get it hee hee!
You never know what is going to happen in a day on St Maarten!!!!!!
