Observer Reporter
Friday, May 28, 2004

A light earthquake with a magnitude of 4.3 on the Richter scale was felt across sections of the island about 2:45 pm yesterday.

The Earthquake Unit at the University of the West Indies (UWI) said the epicentre of the quake was Yallahs in Western, St Thomas.

The quake, felt mainly in the eastern end of the island, was described as "extensive" by Raffia Ahead of the Geology Department at the UWI.

"We received calls from as far as Mandeville, so though the epicentre was in Western St Thomas, the quake was extensive," Ahead told the Observer.
