By BBN Staff: The United States Geological Survey has reported that around 9:00 tonight, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Honduras.

The powerful tremor struck about 125.4 miles north, northeast of the coast of Barra Patucca, Honduras.

A tsunami advisory has been issued for Puerto Rico, British Virgin Islands and the Virgin Islands of sea level fluctuations and strong ocean currents that could pose a threat along coasts, beaches and harbors.
