加勒比海7.6級強震引發海嘯警報,多國警戒後取消

週六晚間,加勒比海發生了一次強烈的7.6級地震,引發了多個國家的海嘯警報,隨後這些警報被取消。根據美國地質調查局(USGS)的數據,震央位於洪都拉斯以北約20英里處,開曼群島西南130英里處。美國海嘯警報系統最初發布的警報預測,古巴、牙買加、洪都拉斯、開曼群島及其他附近國家的沿海地區可能出現高達三米(10英尺)的海浪。波多黎各和美屬維爾京群島也發布了警報,但隨後被取消。

開曼群島政府敦促沿海地區的居民向內陸移動作為預防措施。然而,由於地震發生在海上,目前尚未報告任何立即的損害或傷亡。美國地質調查局指出,該地區發生大地震並不罕見,並提到2018年的一次7.5級地震曾造成輕微損害和小型海嘯。當局確認,雖然仍可能出現高達30厘米(11.8英寸)的輕微海平面波動,但重大海嘯的威脅已經過去。美國國家海嘯警報中心也確認,美國本土海岸沒有海嘯威脅。
