A 4.1 magnitude might seem small, but shallow quakes like this can definitely be felt by people on nearby islands. Good to see the Seismic Research Centre is monitoring closely.
Interesting how precise the coordinates are, 17.59°N and 59.80°W puts it clearly east of Antigua. Technology really makes earthquake tracking so much faster nowadays.
The frequency in earthquakes lately is beginning to worry me
I agree its becoming concerning the frequent earthquakes
