1766-Dec.-12: A weak earthquake shock was felt in Martinique around five o’clock in the morning, lasting approximately three seconds. Reports indicated that the ground in the sister colony did not yet seem fully stabilized following previous seismic activity. Such natural phenomena were closely recorded by colonial observers as they often preceded more destructive disasters. News of the event was shared with Saint-Domingue’s residents to maintain awareness of regional geological conditions.
