Tremor in Higuey

An earthquake registering 4.1 on the Richter scale was felt in the eastern province of Higuey yesterday, according to the director of the Seismology Department at the UASD University, Eugenio Polanco. Polanco said that there is constant seismic activity in the DR due to the country’s geographical location, but that often people don’t even feel the shakes. The tremor was recorded at 133km below ground, yet no casualties or damage to property was reported.
