The exact magnitude, epicenter and depth of the quake will likely be revised in the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the German Geoscience Research Center (GFZ) recording an earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale. Other agencies that reported the same earthquake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center.

Moderate shaking is possible in Yaguaraparo (population 13,600) located 26 km from the epicenter, and Guiria (population 40,000) located 32 km away.In Porto Espana (population 49,000).
located 117 km from the epicenter, the quake should have felt like a light shake.
