<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/02/1-1739061270112.png">Around 6PM ET, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake was detected in the Western Caribbean between the Cayman Islands and Honduras. Over the past few hours, there has been a few aftershocks near the epicenter. Also, there has been a few smaller earthquakes near Puerto Rico.According to the USGS, it is not out of the ordinary to see earthquakes at this location. The last earthquake nearby this location was back in January 2018 with a magnitude of 7.5. A small tsunami was caused similar to tonight's earthquake. The danger of tsunamis have ended and there is no threat to the Gulf waters.We will keep you updated as this is a developing story.

Strong Earthquake in Western Caribbean Saturday Night

1png-1739073025325.png

It's been a busy start to the Eastern Pacific's hurricane season, and it could soon get even busier.

An area of low pressure several hundred miles off the Mexican coastline is being monitored by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) for possible development over the next few days. As of Thursday afternoon, it had low odds of formation in the next five days.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-92920" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/06/epac-overview.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1052" />

The system is expected to stay offshore and is not currently a threat to land. That said, if development were to occur with this system, it'd continue an active start to the 2018 season in the basin. So far this season, three named storms have already formed, including two major hurricanes (Aletta and Bud). The Eastern Pacific averages only three major hurricanes in an entire season, along with 15 total named storms and eight hurricanes. The fourth named storm doesn't typically take place, on average, <a href="https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/climo/">until July 14th</a>.
