The monstrosity of Hurricane Irma is shaking the earth in the Caribbean Islands.
The winds from the hurricane are so strong that seismometers—instruments used to measure earthquakes—are detecting movement in the ground, a seismologist at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom, Stephen Hicks, told USA Today.
“What we’re seeing in the seismogram are low-pitched hums that gradually become stronger as the hurricane gets closer to the seismometer on the island of Guadeloupe,” said Hicks.
