Following a large earthquake off the coast of Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and other Caribbean islands were put on alert when the Pacific Tsunami center issued a tsunami warning for the area. Gloria Ceballos, director of the National Meteorological Office (Onamet) said that the warning was a mistake and was subsequently cancelled.
The cancellation notice was issued shortly after the warning stating that "the tsunami watch for the Caribbean is cancelled because it was meant for the Pacific and was inadvertently sent to the Caribbean by mistake. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused".
