Summary
Another alert for Puerto Rico was quickly lifted. The 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes roiled the region, with buildings evacuated in cities and areas spread as far as Brazil's Amazon about 1,700 kilometres (1,050 miles) away. A magnitude 7.2 earthquake hit about 160 km west of Caracas, followed less than a minute later by a magnitude 7.5 tremor, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).
Furthermore, The US Geological Survey initially said the first earthquake had a magnitude of 7.1, later revising that to 7.2, and its epicentre was west of the community of Morón, located along the country's Caribbean coast, about 168 kilometres (104 miles) west of Caracas. In Chacao, an eastern Caracas municipality, Mayor Gustavo Duque told broadcaster Globovision that two structures had collapsed, 16 people were injured and there were deaths, though he gave no figure for fatalities. “We’re going to do everything we can to rescue the most people possible,” he said.
