The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center called off the tsunami warning after a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off the coast of El Salvador and Nicaragua late Monday night, according to Reuters via Yahoo News. One person died and electricity and cell phone service were cut off after the "terremoto."

The quake was originally measured at 7.4, but was then downgraded to 7.3. The mayor of San Miguel, El Salvador, Wilfredo Salgado, said that the casualty occurred when an electricity pole fell on a man, according to reports.

Tsunami warnings were issued, but then cancelled within minutes. According to Al Jazeera, the U.S. center said, "Any remaining threat should be evaluated by local authorities in impacted areas."

Emergency services in El Salvador said there was some damage to homes and encouraged coastal residents to move inland, but things have reportedly calmed down, according to sources.

According to Al Jazeera, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega declared a preventive state of alert along the coast, asked those that live along the coast to move inland and cancelled classes in schools for Tuesday.

A 5.3 magnitude aftershock was felt in Costa Rica, according to reports.
