Light Earthquake Recorded Near Antigua<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A light earthquake measuring magnitude 2.2 was recorded in the Caribbean Sea, approximately 26 kilometers southeast of Antigua, in the early hours of Saturday, December 28, 2024. <\/p>

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

The tremor occurred at 4:59 a.m. local time at a depth of 48 kilometers (30 miles), according to data from the R\u00e9seau National de Surveillance Sismique (RENASS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The earthquake, classified as weak, was not felt by residents in the region or reported by any witnesses. <\/p>

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

The nearest towns to the epicenter include Freetown (16 kilometers away), Falmouth (23 kilometers), and Parham (25 kilometers), all located on Antigua. Despite their proximity, no shaking was detected in these areas.<\/p>

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

Seismic activity at this magnitude typically goes unnoticed unless under specific favorable conditions. RENASS confirmed the event after manual revisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The region is seismically active, lying near tectonic plate boundaries, though such minor quakes seldom cause any impact. The nearest volcano, Silver Hills on Montserrat, is located 69 kilometers from the epicenter.<\/p>

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

Residents are encouraged to report any unusual activity or sensations, as community reports aid in building a more comprehensive seismic database.<\/p>\n
