加勒比海西部發生7.6級地震,引發海嘯警報

2025年2月8日,一場7.6級地震襲擊了加勒比海西部,震央位於開曼群島喬治城西南偏南約130英里處,深度約6英里。美國地質調查局(USGS)最初報告地震為8.0級,但後來修正為7.6級。這次地震發生在北美和加勒比板塊邊界附近,引發了多個沿海地區的海嘯警報,包括開曼群島、牙買加、古巴、洪都拉斯等地。

美國國家氣象局(NWS)海嘯預警系統確認檢測到小型海嘯波,古巴部分海岸可能出現比潮位高1-3米的海浪,而開曼群島和洪都拉斯則可能出現0.3-1米的海浪。雖然許多警報在不久後被解除,但開曼群島政府最初敦促沿海居民作為預防措施向內陸移動。然而,由於地震發生在海上,未報告有重大損壞或傷亡。

美國地質調查局指出,該地區發生大地震並不罕見,過去一個世紀已記錄到10次6級或以上的地震。地震的偏遠位置限制了其造成重大損壞的可能性。當局繼續監測情況,但目前沒有有效的海嘯警報。
