A magnitude 6.1 earthquake occurred off the coast of Cuba on Monday, with its epicenter located in the Gulf region. This seismic event caused tremors to be felt across parts of Florida, including areas as far north as Orlando.
- The earthquake's epicenter was approximately 65 miles west-northwest of Mantua, Cuba, in Pinar del Río province.
- The tremor was relatively shallow, occurring at a depth of about 6 miles, which contributed to the amplified shaking felt over a wide geographic area.
- Reports confirm that vibrations from the quake were felt by residents across Florida.
- As of the latest information, no injuries have been reported, and no tsunami warnings have been issued.
- This event occurred less than 24 hours after a significant 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the Philippines.
- The USGS earthquake map indicates the quake's location in the southern Gulf region, near Cuba's western coast.
