1 year anniversary.

Where were you when it hit last year and what did you feel?

I was on the 6th Floor Police Admin building- at that height the shaking was hard & wide!

One year already? Ah wonder if people any better prepared now or they fall back into the "God is ah Trini" mentality?

Anyways from pg. 3...

...Was in Point Lisas when it hit. The shaking was bad enough but after we start to hear explosions we thought that was it yes . Luckily it was only blown out transformers...

UWI Seismic Research Centre
October 14 at 8:56 AM ·

This animation shows earthquakes in the Caribbean region from 1918-2019. You can see the increase in events recorded in the Eastern Caribbean from the 1960’s and onward as the UWI Seismic Centre (or Seismic Unit as it was then known) deployed more instruments. The expansion of the network with various instrument types in the following decades has helped enhance the monitoring of earthquakes in the region*. In commemoration of International Day of Disaster Risk Reduction (13th October), we share this video as a reminder of the earthquake hazard the region can potentially face but also the need to have preparedness and mitigation measures in place so we #buildtolast should any natural hazard impact us.
*As the animation approaches the present day these instrument networks are able to detect smaller and smaller earthquakes, creating the illusion of increasing activity. In reality, these smaller earthquakes have always occurred, but the technology has only recently been able to detect them. #DRRday #buildtolast

redmanjp · Postby **redmanjp** » October 17th, 2019, 4:38 pm

What I want to know is if you take away all the <5 magnitude quakes and you are left with the bigger quakes which have always been detected as big quakes didn't need the sensitive equipment we have today, if we would see any increase.

Good question. Is there a trend of increasing number of earthquakes? BGS and USGS both say no.

Well...

Shortly after midnight, at 12:02 AM, a small, minor earthquake struck in the Gulf of Paria, just west of Cedros and northwest of Icacos. 12 minutes later, at 12:14 AM, another minor earthquake struck in a similar location. Both of these quakes, reported by FUNVISIS, were foreshocks, leading up to a (preliminary) Magnitude 5.3 earthquake 10 minutes after.

No damage was reported across the affected areas as of 2:00 AM.

This larger, moderate earthquake was reported felt across much of Western Trinidad with light shaking in Southwestern Trinidad and weak shaking in Northwestern Trinidad. You can submit felt reports to the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre or the United States Geological Survey.

I feel we might get a big one soon
