Magnitude 6.1 earthquake hits eastern Caribbean
2007-02-05
MIAMI - A strong earthquake struck the eastern Caribbean on Sunday afternoon, according to the US Geological SurveyÂ’s National Earthquake Information Center. The 6.1 magnitude earthquake occurred 74 miles (119 km) north-northwest of Montego Bay, Jamaica, and 98 miles (157 km) southwest of Manzanillo, Cuba, the US agency said.

The quake was felt in Jamaica and in Cuba, on the southern coast of the eastern provinces of Granma and Santiago, but there were no reports of damage or injuries.

#2  I've noticed something odd about larger earthquakes. They seem to *sometimes* have a "reflexive" character with each other over broad distances.

Say, an earthquake in the Caribbean followed up several days later by one off the west coast of South America, or maybe off the Pacific northwest, as if the wave traveled through a continent, or crossed an ocean.

It doesn't seem to make sense, but I will still look for a large earthquake somewhere else in about 4-7 days' time.
