A series of significant earthquakes near the Leeward Islands this week has brought renewed attention to the potential tsunami threat facing the Caribbean region, the Bahamas, and even the East Coast of the United States. The University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre reported several earthquakes exceeding a magnitude of 4.0, indicating that aftershocks are likely to occur. This seismic activity underscores the inherent risks in a tectonically active area like the Lesser Antilles Volcanic Arc, which experts warn could generate tsunamis capable of impacting areas far beyond the immediate vicinity.
