Guyana Earth Tremor

We experienced a tremor of about magnitude 4 here on Tuesday 21st August as a result of a major (7+) earthquake in Venezuela. One of the strongest tremors I can recall in the past 40 or so years.

No significant damage in Guyana that I am aware of. Minor damage was reported in Trinidad - but not minor to the owner of the car that got totalled by a falling chunk of concrete... Some damage was reported in Venezuela and possibly some loss of life.

Tremor

Felt a slight tremor this morning around 4.40am. Had I not chanced to be awake I would never have noticed it. A few objects on shelves rattled briefly.
On checking the cause seems to have been an moderate earthquake off Venezuela.

More on tremor

Seems there was a serious quake near Martinique... Probably some minor damage here only.

Guyana feels tremor

At about 15:10 local time Guyana experienced a significant tremor. Certainly magnitude 3. Everyone left our office building but did not see anything falling down. Vehicles were rocking and power lines swaying.
Earthquake somewhere?
