Ex­perts say the 6.2-mag­ni­tude earth­quake that struck Trinidad and To­ba­go on June 22 last year—record­ed at a depth of 46 km by the UWI Seis­mic Re­search Cen­tre—may ex­plain why there were rel­a­tive­ly few re­ports of ma­jor struc­tur­al dam­age.

But for Adan­na Winn of Febeau Vil­lage, Laven­tille Road, San Juan, the 6.2-mag­ni­tude shake on­ly rocked her al­ready un­sta­ble world even more.

The sin­gle moth­er of two said the tremor shift­ed the struc­ture of her home, caus­ing a wall in one of her bed­rooms to col­lapse and sev­er­al cracks to ap­pear.
