A 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Venezuela. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported the quake, while eyewitnesses reported tremors in the capital Caracas. Residents in the city evacuated their homes and reported that the earthquake 'shook' buildings, with one person telling Reuters news agency that cracks formed in their walls. Following the earthquake, a tsunami warning was issued for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.
