Earthquake in Martinique

The Windward Island of Martinique was shaken by a strong earthquake this evening at around 7pm GMT. The tremor measured 7.4 on the Richter scale and has caused two buildings in the capital, Fort-de-France, to collapse. The quake centered just off the island at a depth of 140 km / 90 miles. It was felt hundreds of miles away in South America.

    Earth quakes are so scary!!!  And that was a big one!
    I hope there are only small after shocks to come.  Preferrably none at all...how worrying for people.
