It was preliminarily reported as a 7.1 magnitude quake before being upgraded to a 7.2.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Less than one minute later, a second earthquake measuring at a magnitude of 7.5 struck just north of the first. It was centered about 21 miles northwest of Montalb\u00e1n.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This earthquake was the second event in a doublet, this magnitude 7.5 mainshock was preceded just 39 seconds before by a 7.2 foreshock,&#8221; the USGS said.<\/p>\n<p>The quakes are among the strongest to strike Venezuela in more than a century. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The earthquakes briefly triggered tsunami advisories in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, per the National Weather Service&#8217;s U.S. Tsunami Warning System.
