The UWI Seismic Research Centre (UWI-SRC) has confirmed that a burst of volcanic earthquakes was recorded beneath northern Dominica early Tuesday morning, July 16, 2024.
The UWI Seismic Research Centre (UWI-SRC) has confirmed that a burst of volcanic earthquakes was recorded beneath northern Dominica early Tuesday morning, July 16, 2024.
UWI-SRC in a statement says from 12:45 am (local time) on July 16, 2024, a burst of volcanic earthquakes was recorded beneath northern Dominica.
It says so far, 345 earthquakes have been recorded in the sequence and as of 7:30 am (local time) the rate of events has decreased.
UWI-SRC notes some of these events were sufficiently large to be felt but were smaller than magnitude 3.5 which is below the threshold for posting to the SRC's social media platforms.
The Seismic Research Centre says it is continuing to monitor the activity and provide the Office of Disaster Management in Dominica with regular updates.
