The ubiquitous rise of the smartphone throughout the world -- even embargoed countries -- making this level of tragedy near-immediately available to see online via video is surreal.

I wish the best for the people of Venezuela (not corrupt politicians). For what was once the wealthiest country in south america, this must be hard to see for those civilians old enough to remember the good-old-days.
 
hotel eduards has collapsed, 10 stories tall
Can I say something that might upset people?

The shakes were around 6 pm, leaving just a couple of hours of daylight for rescue operations. That + the electrical grid being already close to collapsing does not paint a pretty picture of what was supposed to be the year to get everything in order, so the country could finally start to get out of the misery hole.
 
Agenda free Steve is playing the video of that chick speaking but I don’t have a clue what she’s saying. They also have those stupid ass sign language people. Get an American in the other corner ffs!

Translate:
We have offered assistance to the Government of Venezuela through our Foreign Ministry.

300 rescue workers and paramedics, along with 50 tons of equipment, medicines, and essential supplies, are ready to depart for Caracas.
 
Some videos.

The road breaking up in Carabobo, near one of the epicenters.



The Naval Academy, located in La Guaira collapsed too

And a classic meme that is posted whenever an earthquake happens here in Venezuela.
 
I can immediately tell from the lack of information from the epicenter and the USGS PAGER that this is really fucking bad. Possibly nearing the level of the Turkey earthquakes.

The timing could not have been worse. Rescue services are extremely underfunded and underemployeed. The storm happened just when the sun was leaving the country. Water service is dogshit in most of the country in multiple occasions firefighters could only stand and watch as they had nothing to quench the flames with.

There is nothing to stop the fires from spreading in the affected zones.
