Earthquake rocks St. Lucia

At about 7:37 p.m. on Thursday residents throughout St. Lucia reported feeling at least two tremors that lasted a couple seconds.

St. Lucia News Online has received reports of the tremor in sections of Gros Islet including Corinth, Bonne Terre, as well as Pavee, Ti Rocher, Castries and as far as Mon Repos, Micoud and Blanchard.

“I felt the tremor then it subsided and then felt it stronger,” said one reader.

A reader in nearby Martinique also reported feeling the tremor.

No reports of damage thus far.

      so if someone did get hurt, would that mean he did not have them in his hands?

    Tremors and quakes are not the same thing. Earthquake rocks st lucia. Strups. It has a live volcano there. Tremmors should be normal

    These things are predicted in the Savior’s mt Olivetti prophecy. Plz see MATTHEW 24, Luke 21, n mark 13″
