6.1-Magnitude Earthquake Off Cuba's Coast Shakes Florida and Mexico
A 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Cuba, marking the region's strongest tremor in nearly 150 years. The earthquake occurred approximately 65 miles northwest of Mantua, Cuba, at a depth of 16 miles, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS). While no injuries or major property damage were reported, the tremor was felt in Florida and parts of Mexico, including Cancún, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum. Residents in Florida, unaccustomed to earthquakes, reported feeling the ground shake. Despite the significant tremor, the US Tsunami Warning Center confirmed there is no tsunami threat to the US east and southern coasts or eastern coastal Canada.
