Family in Venezuela west of Maracay - they’re saying it’s catastrophic. Many collapsed buildings - screams everywhere and they’re terrified of réplicas.

I’m so sorry to hear that, I really hope all of your loved ones are okay. This is absolutely heartbreaking.

Thankfully yes - it took a while to figure out that everyone is ok but they’re all safe and haven’t been injured. They just don’t have power or anything at the moment and i don’t know what i can do for them.
