A 4.9-magnitude earthquake shook Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday afternoon, the University of the West Indies’ Seismic Research Centre (UWI‑SRC) confirmed.
The tremor struck at 4:20 p.m., with its epicentre located 67 km north‑north‑east of Port of Spain and 73 km west of Scarborough, at a depth of 20 km. According to UWI‑SRC social media posts, shaking was felt as far away as Grenada.
The event came just a week after a 3.9‑magnitude earthquake was felt across Trinidad and Tobago on June 16. The twin‑island republic lies within a seismically active zone where quakes occur periodically.
