SMALL QUAKE SHAKES GRENADA, TRINIDAD  
A small earthquake has shaken two Caribbean islands, officials said. The 4.9 'quake happened on Monday morning and was felt in Trinidad and Grenada, the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Unit reported. There were no reports of deaths, injuries or damage, said authorities. The 'quake's epicentre was about 75 miles northwest of the Trinidad capital, Port-of-Spain, according to the US Geological Survey in Golden, Colorado. It was felt throughout northern and central Trinidad. In Grenada, the Disaster Management Agency had no reports of an earthquake, but scientists at the University of the West Indies said they received reports of people feeling the 'quake in Grenada. "Given the magnitude and depth of the earthquake it is unlikely that damage would be caused, but we always urge people in the region to take proper precaution," said Robert Robertson, head of the Seismic Research Centre in Trinidad. A magnitude 5 earthquake can cause considerable damage and a magnitude 6 severe damage. Reprinted from virgin.net
