A powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake has struck in the sea south of Cuba, triggering warnings of "hazardous" tsunami waves up to a metre high for Cuba, Jamaica, and west to Mexico and Central America.The epicentre of the quake was between Jamaica, the Cayman Islands and Cuba, at a shallow depth of 10 kilometres.
"Hazardous tsunami waves are forecast for some coasts," the International Tsunami Information Center said. Tsunami waves reaching 30cm to 1m above the tide level were possible for coastal parts of Belize, Cuba, Honduras, Mexico, the Cayman Islands and Jamaica, it said.It was not strongly felt in the capital, Havana, according to a Reuters witness.Mikhail Campbell, a police media relations officer in the Cayman Islands, said he was not immediately aware of any initial reports of serious damage.
The disaster management agency for the Cayman Islands government on Twitter urged people to move away from coastal areas and said that those in low-lying areas should "evacuate vertically" in strong multi-story buildings.

My thoughts are with those ordinary folk effected! Mind you wouldn't it be a real shame if those lovely people around the world laundering their money in the Caymen Islands depriving their respective Governments of essential Tax income, just happen to lose fuckin' EVERYTHING🤭
