Two strong earthquakes struck Venezuela, causing widespread damage and casualties. Reports indicate at least 32 people have died and approximately 700 have been injured, according to the Venezuelan president. Buildings have collapsed in affected areas, particularly where former Odd-spiller and pastor Fernando de Ornelas’ parents reside. Ornelas, originally from Skien, Norway, described being shocked by news from his family and expressed concern for friends and acquaintances who have lost their homes and loved ones. He spent the night monitoring the situation as it unfolded. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed as rescue efforts continue. The earthquakes have left communities reeling and facing a challenging recovery period.
