🚨 BREAKING | Major Earthquakes Strike Venezuela — Buildings Collapse in Caracas
Back-to-back powerful earthquakes hammered Venezuela on Wednesday evening, collapsing buildings in the capital Caracas.
The U.S. Geological Survey confirmed the first quake at magnitude 7.1, with its epicenter west of the community of Morón on Venezuela's Caribbean coast, about 104 miles west of Caracas, at a depth of 13 kilometres. Minutes later, an even stronger 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck, with its epicenter just 16 kilometres southwest of Morón.
People evacuated swaying buildings across Caracas and remained outside, many visibly shocked as they saw entire walls that had collapsed, making furniture visible from the street. Dust columns were also seen rising in two neighbourhoods of the capital.
The U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued tsunami alerts for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands following the twin quakes. The tremors were also felt in neighbouring Colombia.
Rescuers are searching for victims in collapsed buildings as the disaster unfolds. Power lines are down and the capital's main airport has also been reported damaged.
