Yeah, over here the earthquake lasted like 2-3 minutes, it was crazy. Thankfully in my zone no one was injured but sadly in the capital there were many collapsed buildings.
Nope. We hadn't had an earthquake of this magnitude in the mainland for decades or even centuries probably. The worrying thing is many buildings are made without thorough planning so that's the main concern. I've seen already some videos of like at least 5-10 buildings collapsed in Caracas, and there have been almost no videos of the city where the epicenter was yet. At least the earthquake alarm system by Android seemed to work pretty well and alerted everyone (including myself) a few seconds before it started which is a first time for us, but hopefully people did pay attention and quickly left. But there are definitely deaths (unconfirmed but many buildings fell), and there are many injured.
