A 6.1-magnitude earthquake near Cuba sent tremors across South Florida on Monday, raising concerns about the region's vulnerability to seismic activity. While no damage was reported this time, the event underscores the potential for future quakes to cause harm, especially in areas less prepared for such natural disasters. The epicenter's proximity to populated areas and the depth of 10 km could have resulted in more severe consequences. Critics argue that more should be done to reinforce infrastructure and improve public readiness for earthquakes in the Caribbean and Florida.
