Rescuers search rubble after two quakes hit Venezuela
Among the strongest to strike Venezuela in a century, the quakes collapsed buildings in Caracas, with rescuers searching the rubble. The US Geological Survey said a magnitude 7.1 tremor struck west of Caracas on Wednesday, followed within a minute by a stronger 7.5 quake. A tsunami warning for the Caribbean was later lifted, and officials reported injuries, though no death toll has been confirmed.
