Overview
- A 6.1-magnitude quake struck off Cuba's west coast and sent shaking into Florida on Monday, with the U.S. Geological Survey reporting the event at about 10 km depth.
- Buildings in Orlando, Miami and Jacksonville were evacuated as a precaution and social media videos showed visible shaking, though local authorities reported no serious injuries or major structural damage.
- The National Weather Service and the U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center said there was no tsunami threat to the U.S., while the USGS said aftershocks should be expected following a quake of this size.
- England's squad, training in Florida ahead of a warm-up match against Costa Rica, felt the tremors but has reported no change to its schedule and still plans to relocate to its Kansas City base for the tournament.
- The quake was described in coverage as the strongest felt in the region in roughly 150 years, so officials and venue operators will continue inspections and monitoring to guard against aftershocks and hidden damage.
