A cluster of seismic events caught the attention of regional authorities over the weekend as seven earthquakes were recorded in the water\u2019s northeast of Antigua.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The University of the West Indies (UWI) Seismic Research Centre reported that these tremors occurred within a concentrated area, approximately 89 to 91 kilometres (55 to 57 miles) off the island’s northeastern coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series of quakes varied in intensity, with the most significant being a magnitude 4.2 event.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This was the strongest in the sequence but there were no reports of it being felt by residents on Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While earthquakes of this magnitude are not uncommon in the Caribbean region, which sits on several tectonic plate boundaries, the concentration of multiple events in such a short time frame and localized area is noteworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seismologists at the UWI Seismic Research Centre are closely monitoring the situation for any potential follow-up activity.<\/p>
