A minor earthquake (magnitude 3.8 on the Richter scale) was recorded in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday at 00:45 am and identified as Tectonic.
The epicenter was located 26 km east-northeast of Saint − Martin, 27 km deep (a hypocentral distance of about 37 km). This earthquake could generate, in the nearest affected areas, an average ground acceleration of 1.8 mg, corresponding to a macroseismic intensity II (rarely felt).
Depending on the type of soil, the intensities may, however, have locally reached the intensity III − IV (widely felt).
