A 5.7-magnitude earthquake Sunday afternoon shook a large part of Rupunoni in southern Guyana and parts of northern Brazil, according to US Ge0logical and population surveys in the area.

“We just heard grrrrrrrr grrrrrr. The zinc sheets were clanking.” Said Margaret Bagot, a resident of Then.

The earthquake began around 3:07 pm and lasted several minutes.

The US Geological Survey said the earthquake occurred at a depth of 9.7 kilometers and 83 kilometers from Lethem, the capital of District 9 (Upper Takatu – Upper Issykwipo).

Lethem mayor John Macedo said the earthquake was “very strong,” causing one of his guests to leave the Kanuku Hotel as a precaution. “I felt shaky.” “All the walls and windows were shaking,” he told News-Talk Radio / Demerara Waves Online News.

The mayor said he had not received any initial reports of any damage or destruction caused by the earthquake. He said, “It looks like it didn’t have any significant effect.”

The Civil Defense Authority, which deals with natural and man-made disasters, said there was no evidence yet of damage or destruction. The Regional Emergency Operations Center reported that residents felt the earthquake in District 9 but there were no reports or any losses or damage. The government agency said that the Civil Defense Committee will continue to comprehensively monitor the national emergency monitoring system and provide updates as more information becomes available.

Of all accounts so far this is the strongest earthquake that shook Robbononi.
