GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands — A 5.8 earthquake has struck off the Cayman Islands, but no damage or injuries have been reported.

The U.S. Geological survey says the quake was centred in the Caribbean Sea about 40 miles (65 kilometres) east-southeast of the capital, George Town. It had a depth of 6 miles (10 kilometres).

The government reports fielding 100 emergency calls from islanders.

Emergency Communications Center manager Brent Finster says some callers evacuated buildings and wondered if it was safe to go back inside.

Tuesday's earthquake slightly disrupted phone service.

thank god no one got hurt.

Damn,What the hell is happening to these islands?

Thank god. 5.8 is pretty strong, but it's great that nothing happened.

The end is near

Yeah clearly the end is near because of a 5.8 earthquake that didn't even injure anyone.

But anyway, this is quite interesting. It shows you how poor a country Haiti really is. Look what happens when it happens to a country not so poor. This one was slightly less powerful but you get the point. I've been to the Cayman Islands about 4 years ago and loved it out there. Guns are outlawed over there. Not even the cops carry them. Beautiful and safe at the same time.

Anyway, I'm getting off topic...so I'm glad no one was hurt. It is a near miracle that not a single person was hurt.

were the only ones really in danger. Glad they're OK, though.

^... really.... really... glad they are ok
