A new earthquake took place in Florida, according to CW33 Radio Florida, based on testimonies from residents of Parada Urioste, Talita, San Gerónimo, Picada Larga and Palermo who reported a tremor and “a strange noise”..
The mayor of the department, Guillermo López, confirmed to The Observer that the territory “trembled”, and that they hope to have a report by this Sunday night. The researcher from the Institute of Geological Sciences of the Faculty of Sciences, Leda Sánchez, maintained that she has already observed the phenomenon in three sensors, and she hopes to investigate the data more about the night.
A similar event had taken place on the morning of Saturday May 8 of last year, when residents of Molles del Timote and nearby areas spoke of at least two “explosions” associated with earth movements. Sánchez had estimated for that earthquake a level 3.8 on the Richter seismological scalealso known as the local magnitude (ML) scale.
The expert estimated in dialogue with The Observer that the repetition of earthquakes in the vicinity of Florida may be due to “reactivation of old faults” in earth movements.
