The U.S. Geological Survey reports a 5.8 magnitude earthquake has struck off the Cayman Islands.

Monday a strong earthquake rocked Guatemala and parts of El Salvador, but no there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage in either country.

That quake hit about 60 miles southwest of Guatemala City, where it was felt by many residents. There were reports of shaking in the Guatemalan countryside and in El Salvador as well.

Tuesday's quake happened southeast of the Cayman Islands.
