This strong M6.0 earthquake was a shallow-focus event, striking at 47 km beneath Codrington, Antigua and Barbuda. Strong earthquakes at this magnitude are widely felt across a broad region and can cause moderate to heavy damage to vulnerable structures near the epicenter.

At 47 km depth, this falls within the shallow-focus category. The relatively near-surface location means shaking at the epicenter may be more intense than deeper events of comparable magnitude.
