A significant seismic event occurred in Venezuela on Wednesday evening. Two massive earthquakes struck the coast, causing widespread destruction and panic among the population. Buildings were severely damaged, reduced to rubble in some cases.

As the earthquakes hit, people rushed out of buildings and onto the streets in search of safety. The earthquakes occurred in rapid succession, with less than a minute passing between the two events. Further details about the earthquakes and their impact are available from FOX 26 Houston, which has been following the story from Magnolia, TX.
