The Caribbean is a region that consists of the Caribbean Sea, its islands and the surrounding coasts. The region is southeast of the Gulf of Mexico and the North American mainland, east of Central America, and north of South America.
A MASSIVE 7.6 magnitude earthquake has struck near Honduras in the Caribbean Sea, sparking a tsunami warning.
The US Geological Survey said the quake, initially reported as a magnitude 7.8, was centered 125 miles northeast of Barra Patuca in Honduras and 191 miles southwest of George Town in the Cayman Islands.
It was very shallow, only 6.2 miles, which would have amplified its effect.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a bulletin shortly after the quake struck.
