Venezuela Shaken by Double Earthquake

Two massive earthquakes rattled Venezuela this week, registering 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale, triggering panic, collapsing buildings, and leaving residents searching rubble for loved ones. The tremors hit Caracas around 6 PM, followed by at least 20 aftershocks, with Trujillo, Carabobo, Miranda, and La Guaira hardest hit. A 22-story building crumbled, and while injuries are confirmed, death tolls remain unknown. The quake reignites trauma from past disasters — including 1967’s deadly Caracas quake that killed 236 — with Los Palos Grandes, now again devastated, bearing the scars of history. A state of emergency was declared, and Venezuela’s main airport shut down as rescue crews scramble. Meanwhile, a separate quake struck northern Japan with no reported damage. The full scope of destruction in Venezuela is still unfolding. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
