加勒比海7.6級地震引發短暫海嘯警報
週六晚間,加勒比海發生了一次強度達7.6級的地震,震央位於開曼群島首都喬治城西南約129英里處,以及牙買加金斯敦以西372英里處。美國地質調查局報告稱,地震發生在東部時間下午6時23分左右,並引發了對多個地區的短暫海嘯警報,包括波多黎各、美屬維爾京群島、英屬維爾京群島、古巴、洪都拉斯和開曼群島。這些警報後來被取消,因為美國國家海嘯預警中心確認海嘯威脅已經過去。
開曼群島和波多黎各的當地當局敦促居民作為預防措施避免靠近沿海水域。波多黎各地震網絡主任Ángel Vázquez強調了依賴官方信息和避免謠言的重要性。根據皇家開曼群島警察局的報告,截至週六晚間,尚未收到地震造成重大損害或傷亡的報告。至少有326人向美國地質調查局報告感受到了地震。
這事件突顯了該地區對地震活動的脆弱性,以及在自然災害期間及時溝通的重要性。雖然即時威脅已經減退,官員們仍在密切監控情況。
