Residents across the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico were shaken out of their sleep early Tuesday morning after a powerful 5.7 magnitude earthquake struck off the southeastern coast of the island.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake hit approximately 24 miles offshore from the Dominican Republic, with its epicenter recorded at a depth of 104 miles beneath the Earth’s surface.
Despite the strength of the tremor, there have been no immediate reports of damage or injuries, according to regional disaster officials.
But that’s not all…
Just one day earlier, on Monday, a magnitude 4.0 earthquake was recorded near Port-au-Prince, Haiti — shaking nerves but causing no reported damage.
Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the island of Hispaniola, which lies in one of the most seismically active zones in the region — a dangerous boundary between the North American Plate and the northeast edge of the Caribbean Plate.
The area has a long history of deadly quakes, and today’s tremors are a stark reminder of the island’s ongoing vulnerability to seismic activity
