It reached 7.6 earthquakes in the western Caribbean area on Saturday night, which prompted a Tsunami consulting the Kayman Island, where Portorico and Virgin Virgin were cleared of threat.
Temblor was hit at 6:23 pm Easter at a depth of about 6 miles underground, about 130 miles southwest of Georgetown, the Kayman Islands, according to the American geological survey.
After alerting saying that its islands were at a potential tsunami threat, the Kayman Island Government Management Agency said late on Saturday that “everything is clear” had been released to its lands – Grand Kayman, Kayman Barak, Little Cayman.
No tsunami was observed, as he said in a statement.
“This was a big earthquake and [we] Daniel Coleman, director of the Kaymanz Islands, Director of the Hazard Islands, said the Kayman Islands Administration, in a statement that any major damage was not reported by any major damage through our islands.
In the minutes that followed the earthquake, the agency said that the tsunami was possible, and he urged people along the coast of the Kayman Islands to move inside.
The Kayman Tsunamis Risk Management Agency has described it as strongly strong, and sometimes measures only 1.5 feet, but moving water in a wave can range between 50 and 60 miles. The agency said that such a overwhelming flow in the water is the most harmful elements, with a sign that a tsunami under progress is the leaked sea quickly before the sea rush.
The American Tsunami warning said that Cuba was under a similar threat – a height of about 3 feet and 10 feet. Overnight, she had no active warnings, consultations, hours, or threats to the area that includes Cuba.

Usgs The earthquake was measured at first In 8.0 huge, but its capacity was later re -evaluated and seized it measuring 7.6.
Since Temblor was located below an island surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, according to USGs maps, the agency said that “a few population” was shaken.
USGs put the earthquake on a sliding error near the border between North America and Caribbean tectonic panels.
“The big earthquakes on this site from the boundaries of the painting are not unexpected,” the agency said in an analysis posted on its website on Saturday night.
She said 10 or larger, which occurred in the region in the last century. Usgs said that one of the most prominent earthquakes in the area occurred on January 10, 2018, when it caused some damage to some small damage and tsunami.
“Fortunately, the distant site of these earthquakes limits the possibility of significant damage due to shaking,” he said.
