The tremors were felt as far as the US mainland, where police in Miami evacuated some buildings as a precaution. The US Geological Survey (USGS) said the quake hit at a depth of 10km at 2:10pm — 125km northwest of Lucea, Jamaica. The first, bigger quake rattled several tall buildings in the Cuban capital, Havana, which were immediately evacuated. “I felt the house trembling and realized that it was a quake,” Kingston, Jamaica, resident Jawara Rawjers said. In Miami, police said buildings were evacuated as a precaution after reports of tremors being felt in some areas of the city.
