ROSEAU, Dominica - An earthquake measuring 5.0 on the Reichter scale was felt in Dominica this morning, Thursday, July 25, 2019, according to information from the office of Disaster Management (ODM).
“The ODM can confirm that this morning at 6:15 am, there was a magnitude 5.0 earthquake located 91 kilometres north north east of Roseau, Dominica.
