The 6.6-degree tremor that occurred in the Caribbean area 300 miles from Puerto Rico was felt in various parts, including the TeleOnce studios in Guaynabo where the movement was evidenced in the middle of the transmission of its afternoon newscast.
While the journalist Nuria Sebazco was anchored at the main table of the Las Noticias studio, you could see the movement of the crystals that are in the back of it.
Subsequently, the tremor that had occurred was reported and was also felt in various parts of the island.
Strong tremor in the Caribbean shakes several parts of the island
A tremor was reported about 340 miles from the northeast of Puerto Rico on Monday afternoon. It was specifically at 4:27 in the afternoon.
The movement was felt in various parts of the island, specifically in the metropolitan area.
According to the Puerto Rico Seismic Network, the tremor was 6.6 degrees with a depth of 10 kilometers. Meteorologist Ada Monzón explained on Noticentro (Wapa TV) that due to the shallowness of the movement, it was felt in various areas of Puerto Rico despite having occurred so far away.
At this time, no tsunami warning or advisory has been issued.
In the same way, the meteorologist explained that for this type of bulletin to be issued, the tremor must be greater than 7 degrees and 100 kilometers from our area.
At the moment, this is not considered as a possibility for our region.
What to do during an earthquake?
During the event, the Seismic Network recommends ducking under a table or piece of furniture, holding on, and taking cover. In addition, the guide urges to stay away from dangerous objects.
If you are outside a building, the recommendation is to stay away from buildings, posts and trees.
Another recommendation is not to run during an earthquake.
At the same time, if you are driving, try to stop and position yourself between the front and rear seats, covering your head. If you end up in an unsafe place, such as a bridge, try to move the vehicle to a safer place or leave it.
On the other hand, after an earthquake, the first thing to do is remain calm and try to stay informed through reliable sources.
In addition, you must cooperate with the authorities and ensure the well-being of the people who are with you.
Likewise, when you are authorized to re-enter the buildings, you must check the integrity of these and close any electrical or gas line, to avoid any accident, until they are verified.
At the same time, don’t clutter up the phone lines by making calls.
Lastly, it is vital that when everything is over, re-pack your emergency backpack and continue preparing, keeping in mind that earthquakes are season all year long.
