27 aftershocks were recorded following Saturday night’s earthquake which shook all of Trinidad and Tobago.

The UWI Seismic Research Centre’s preliminary estimated magnitude was 6.2 but this was revised down to 6.0.

The tremor occurred just north of Venezuela’s Paria peninsula, which is just 97 kilometres west northwest of Trinidad.

UWI says the largest aftershock recorded was 3.9.

The initial tremor had 10 to 15 seconds of shaking reported, and it was felt as far north in the Caribbean as St. Vincent and down in Suriname.
