Result of the 21 November earthquake in Guadeloupe

#1 Postby HUC » Sun Nov 28, 2004 10:52 am

One week after this 6.3 magnitude earthquake a lot of damages have been reported:
In the islands of Los Santos,more than 350 houses have been either distroyed or badly damaged.The town house,the church,the emergency headquarter,schools,are destroyed.Half of the unhabitants stressed by this event,and some 3000 aftershocks,leave this islands and came in the main island of Guadeloupe.
Elswhere,some houses,damaged,and two other churchs,also.In the mountain of La Soufrière,it's impossible to access becaused of ground slides.
And due to the rains,many roads are damaged...
Thank's God,there were only one dead,and 22 injured!!!.
This big earthquake is to remember that any day,we can sufferd of a major schock,like the one of 1843(mag 7.5 to 8) that caused 3000 dead in our territory,and we had to be prepared..
So long to anyone,and thank's to your support

Thanks for providing the information my friend.As you said thankfully no more deaths occured because a 6.3 quake is a pretty strong jolt.
