Tremor felt by some

Residents from all across the country reported feeling the 5.4 magnitude earthquake that shook the island on Tuesday morning. While some said they felt nothing, several reported feeling the tremor.

A Barbados TODAY team spoke with some members of the public about their experience.

Witney Lascaris

I was at my work office in Wildey when I felt the earthquake. I was sitting sharing the table with someone and I asked them if they shook the table. They said no and we realised it was an earthquake. We evacuated the building. I am from Trinidad and we have bigger earthquakes than this so I did not panic.

Grantley Holmer

I was home in Flagstaff Road and my next-door neighbour phoned and asked me if I felt the earthquake and I told her no. I was outside working so I didn’t feel anything.

Kenny Hutson

I didn’t feel the earthquake, I heard about it on the news. Around the time the officials said it happened I was on the road traversing the South Coast but I felt nothing.
