A 5.4 magnitude earthquake has hit Jamaica and prompted people to flee buildings amid heavy shaking that knocked out power in some areas. The tremor caused panic on the island Monday, but the prime minister says there have been no reports of deaths, injuries or serious damage. Food, wine bottles and other items tumbled off the shelves in grocery stores and some minor damage to buildings was reported. The epicenter of the quake was about two miles west-northwest of Hope Bay. The U.S. Geological Survey says it occurred at a shallow depth of six miles.
