A magnitude 5.0 earthquake struck off the coast of Jamaica at about 3:18 a.m. local time Tuesday, the United States Geological Survey reported, with residents across the island feeling the shaking.

The earthquake’s epicenter was located in the Caribbean Sea roughly 84.9 kilometers (about 52.8 miles) northeast of Manchioneal and approximately 139.4 kilometers (about 86.6 miles) east of Kingston, Jamaica’s capital, according to USGS data. The quake occurred at a depth of around 10 kilometers (6.2 miles).

Residents reported feeling the ground move early Tuesday, with some saying the shaking rattled windows and lasted several seconds. Social media posts described the experience as similar to being on a boat as the tremor passed.

Officials from the U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center, which monitors seismic events in the Caribbean, did not issue any tsunami advisories following the quake, indicating there is no imminent threat of large waves associated with this event.

Jamaica lies along the boundary between the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates, a region known for periodic seismic activity. Earthquakes of this magnitude are not unusual in the area and, when centered offshore and at moderate depth, often result in shaking felt by residents without major structural damage or casualties.

At this time there are no confirmed reports of injuries or significant damage tied to the quake. Authorities continue to monitor aftershocks and will provide updates if the situation changes.
