The UWI Seismic Research Centre says it is continuing to monitor recent activity recorded in Dominica.

It says from 12:45am today, a “burst of volcanic earthquakes” was recorded beneath the northern part of that island.

Some of these events were large enough to be felt, but were smaller than magnitude 3.5, which is below the threshold for posting to the UWI-SRC’s social media platforms.

So far, it says 345 earthquakes have been recorded in the sequence, however as at 7:30am the rate of events has decreased.

UWI-SRC says it will continue to provide regular updates to the Office of Disaster Management, Dominica.
