4.7 quake 10 Sep 7:34 am (GMT -4)

An intermediate magnitude 4.7 earthquake was reported in the morning near Guiria, Municipio Valdez, Sucre, Venezuela.
According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the quake hit on Sunday, September 10th, 2023, at 7:34 am local time at an intermediate depth of 100 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.7 as well.
