Haiti awoke to aftershocks Wednesday morning, as a 5.9 magnitude tremor shook the battered nation at approximately 6 a.m. According to SmarterTravel.com, nearby Grand Cayman rumbled this morning, thanks to a separate 5.8 magnitude quake some 30 miles offshore.

The effects of that earthquake were reportedly felt in Jamaica, Cuba, and even Miami. Scientists fear that the initial quake in Haiti was so substantial that it may take weeks for the region to settle in, meaning more strong aftershocks are possible.
