A magnitude 6.1 earthquake strikes offshore near western Cuba on Monday, with tremors reported in Havana and across southern Florida. Multiple outlets cite the quake’s location just west of Cuba, in the southern Gulf, and note that shaking is felt as far north as the Orlando area. The U.S. Geological Survey data reported by some sources places the epicenter roughly west or west-northwest of Cuba and gives a shallow offshore depth, with one outlet citing about 10 km and another about 26 km.
In Cuba, residents and media describe building shaking in Havana and surrounding areas, including reports of people feeling vibration and temporary alarm. In Florida, the National Weather Service in Miami receives several reports of minor shaking across southwestern Florida, with mentions of cities including Fort Myers, Naples, Sarasota, Miami, and Orlando. At least one source reports no injuries or damage. The Miami Herald also reports that the National Weather Service says there is no tsunami danger linked to the earthquake. Overall, accounts converge on the quake magnitude, its offshore location near Cuba, and the extent of shaking in both Cuba and parts of Florida.
