A significant seismic event occurred in Venezuela, involving two earthquakes. The earthquakes were described as a doublet sequence by the U.S. Geological Survey.

The pair of earthquakes had magnitudes of 7.1 and 7.5. What is notable about this event is the short time gap between the onsets of the two earthquakes, which was just 39 seconds.

Further information about this event, including details on the phenomenon of doublet earthquakes, is available from the U.S. Geological Survey and other sources, such as NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth.
