Search and rescue crews are pulling survivors from the rubble after two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela less than a minutes apart last night.<\/p>\n

The earthquakes were Venezuela’s largest in over a century.<\/p>\n

The epicenter was west of Caracas, but the destruction stretched across one of the country’s most densely populated regions.<\/p>\n

Officials say at least 164 people are dead as rescue crews continue searching thorugh collapsed buildings. Acting President Delcy Rodriguez has declared a state of emergency, urging people to remain alert for aftershocks.<\/p>\n
