- Venezuela was hit by twin powerful earthquakes, causing major destruction and an emergency response.
- A magnitude 7.2 earthquake occurred near San Felipe, followed within 39 seconds by a stronger magnitude 7.5 earthquake near Morón.
- The earthquakes occurred along the boundary of the Caribbean Plate and South American Plate, due to shallow strike-slip faulting.
- The event is known as a Seismic Doublet, meaning two major earthquakes of similar magnitude occur closely in time and location.
- In a seismic doublet, both quakes act as primary earthquakes, unlike normal aftershocks, where only one mainshock occurs.
