Slightly eventful awakening for Guadeloupeans and for the populations of the surrounding islands. A first earthquake of magnitude 5.6 was felt at 5:49 a.m. The epicenter is located 144 km east of Saint Barthélemy. It was followed by a second quake of magnitude 4.7 felt this time at 7:22 a.m., particularly in Marie-Galante.

According to the Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Guadeloupe, the first of these two earthquakes can be qualified as moderate despite a magnitude of 5.6.
The epicenter of the second earthquake felt at 7:22 a.m. was located 2 km east of Grand Bourg de Marie-Galante, 103 km deep.
The Volcanological and Seismological Observatory of Guadeloupe qualifies this second earthquake as light and because of its epicenter, very close to the island of Marie-Galante, it was particularly in Marie-Galante that it was felt.
