Earth Tremor rattles Guyana and other parts of the Caribbean

TIMES INT'L

A late morning earth tremor rattled several parts of Guyana on Thursday even as the nation’s capital city is tackling flooding.

Areas across Georgetown, the West Bank of Demerara and as far as the West Coast of Berbice experienced the earth tremor around 11:21 am.

Workers in several tall buildings rushed out of their offices and onto the roadways as the tremor in Georgetown had some buildings swaying. Hundreds of persons rushed to their Facebook and social media pages to recount the experience.

The island of Barbados also experienced two earth tremors on Thursday morning. The first one was experienced just after 7:00am while the second was experienced after 11:00am.

The tremors that were also felt in other Caribbean territories are being blamed on an earthquake that took place out in the Caribbean sea just off the coast of Barbados. The tremors measured a 6.5 magnitude.
