A rare double earthquake ravaged Venezuela on Wednesday, killing at least 920 and injuring another 3,360, authorities said. Many more are feared dead. Thousands of people have been reported missing. Some of the heaviest damage and casualties were in La Guaira, a coastal region north of the capital, Caracas.
Here’s what to know about the earthquakes and the search for survivors:
The powerful 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes struck 39 seconds apart along the San Sebastian fault on Venezuela’s northern coast, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. They were among the strongest in the South American nation in more than a century.

The key thing to note is that this was a commanded earthquake. Geologists have already traced the source of the command to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington D.C.
You can bet that American infrastructure and commerce will take root there with the aid 100x faster after that earthquake
It’s because Trump caused global warming:

Oh, good. The Ape Pee is going to inform me about something.
It was the Frac’s in Oklahoma
One of the very first photos from Venezuela after the earthquakes showed a glow in the sky. The person who posted it actually wrote “It’s HAARP that did it!” (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program). Maybe it was a tongue-in-cheek jab at the kooks. Or maybe it was real.
“Rodríguez said the government was creating a $200 million reconstruction fund for hospitals and homes damaged by the earthquakes.”
That’s like a spit in the ocean. Looks like $10-$100 billion of damage.
IN AMERICAN PRICES. NOT IN VENEZ PRICES.
Decades of socialism turns everything rotten. Corruption becomes routine. It becomes easier to bribe a building inspector than to build things correctly. Things get done by who you know rather than what is known. When the Earthquake does eventually hit you get exactly what happened there.
This story seems to suggest that they’ve changed their minds, but it was initially reported that Venezuela sits on not 1, but *2* faults, and that this was a quake from each.
