The United States Geological Survey (USGS) website reported an 8.0 magnitude earthquake that occurred this evening in the North Atlantic Ocean.

The massive 8.0 Earthquake occurred at a depth of 13km, 85 km (52 miles) NE (55 degrees) of Higüey, La Altagracia, Dominican Republic; 109 km (68 miles) ENE (73 degrees) of El Seybo, El Seybo, Dominican Republic; 116 km (72 miles) NW (313 degrees) of Rincón, PR; 119 km (74 miles) NE (54 degrees) of La Romana, La Romana, Dominican Republic; and 209 km (130 miles) ENE (73 degrees) of SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic.

According to TheHuffingtonPost, the massive earthquake, 8.0 on the Richter Scale earthquake was then removed from the USGS web site without explanation. Up to this writing, no one really knows what happened except the USGS. No official statement from the USGS have been noted since this incident.

Other websites also think this was only a little glitch on the USGS’s system. Stay tuned for updates.
