Trinidad and Tobago Weather Center (TTWC) – Over the last 48 hours, Kick’em Jenny, a submarine volcano located just north of Grenada, has experienced increased seismic activity.
According to the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Center (UWI SRC), activity began to ramp up at 11:14 PM Friday, February 9th, 2024, and continued through 3:00 AM Sunday, February 11th, 2024.
During this time, 3,400 earthquakes were recorded, with the largest measuring magnitude 3.3 on February 10th, and was reported felt across northern areas of Grenada.
However, according to the UWI SRC, activity has subsided both in magnitude and frequency almost to a complete stop.
The National Disaster Management Agency (NaDMA) of Grenada, the island’s disaster management organization, says the level of activity at the Kick’em Jenny Submarine Volcano can either increase, decrease, or remain at normal readings. Additionally, activity levels can fluctuate.
It also added that the UWI SRC will continue to monitor the submarine volcano and provide updated analyses of the situation.
There are currently four fully functional seismic stations in the north of Grenada monitoring Kick’emJenny on a twenty-four-hour basis.
