"Utter Devastation": Thousands Feared Dead in Venezuela After Double Earthquakes

[Uncle Joe]

Thousands are feared dead in Venezuela after back-to-back powerful earthquakes struck the country Wednesday evening, collapsing buildings in the capital Caracas and surrounding areas. Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodríguez has declared a state of emergency as rescue workers frantically search for survivors in the rubble of "dozens" of collapsed buildings. Historian Alejandro Velasco, who has family in Venezuela, reports that "many Venezuelans abroad are trying to get in touch with their loved ones in Venezuela and are having a hard time doing so."

The current death toll is at 164, with 1,000 people injured, but the U.S. Geological Survey warns there's a high chance the death toll could rise into the tens of thousands — or even top 100,000.

I awoke early and flipped through the channels and on the right wing channel ( I forget which one as I don’t usually watch it ) was speculating on 100k dead and the newscaster said
“pResident trump has dictate … er , ordered for help for the country “

Yeh he almost said dictated
