An earthquake rocked the Cayman Islands Tuesday afternoon.

All three islands experienced the effects of a magnitude 7.7 earthquake believed to have originated 80 miles northeast of George Town, according to Government Information Services.

Hazard Management Cayman Islands is advising all residents to move away from the coasts and evacuate vertically. Cayman is one of several countries that could expect tsunami waves reaching up to three feet, according to a notice sent by the US-based Tsunami Warning Center.
“Given that those times have passed, and we do not have a report of a significant wave coming on shore, I would think that the tsunami threat from the initial wave has passed,” John Tibbetts, director general of Cayman Islands National Weather Service said. “However, be reminded, a tsunami is a series of waves and there is also the possibility for further tremors that are likely to occur over the next six, eight, 12 hours.”

Belize, Cuba, Honduras, Mexico and Jamaica could also experience Tsunami waves.



People close to the shore are advised to move away from the coast and evacuate vertically as a tsunami may have been generated, according to HMCI.

The quake is believed to have originated at a depth of just more than six miles, according to the United States Geological Survey.

It appears the quake has impacted local telephone service.

The earthquake caused sewage system issues in George Town, according to multiple sources.

Various locations were evacuated including the airport in George Town. Court proceedings were put off for the day. At the Health Services Authority, patients and staff were moved to upper floors. Residents in Cayman Brac have taken to the bluff as a safety precaution.

Sink holes have been reported at locations across Grand Cayman.
