Atlantic 6.4 Earthquake near Barbados

Earthquake in Atlantic Ocean near Barbados Created Possibility of Local Tsunami 

An earthquake in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Barabados Thursday shook tiny island chains, and also created the risk of a localized tsunami.

The magnitude-6.4 quake hit around 11:15 a.m. ET, and was centered 87 miles northeast of Barbados. The tremor was shallow, only about 3 miles deep.

The USGS estimates as many as 1 million people felt the jolt. People from Bridgetown, Barbados, well south into the Port of Spain report feeling weak to light shaking.

There are no reports of damage or injuries.

While there is no widespread risk of tsunami, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was a “small possibility of a local tsunami that could affect coasts located usually no more than one hundred kilometers from the earthquake epicenter.”

The USGS recorded a 5.2-magnitude aftershock about 35 minutes after the main event.

This is a breaking story. Please check back with weather.com for further updates.
