Images circulating online depict the aftermath of Wednesday’s earthquakes in Venezuela, showing scenes of smoke rising near the coast. Seismologist Björn Lund from Uppsala University analyzed footage showing individuals in a boat amidst the disruption. Lund explained that while the shaking appears severe, the seismic movements are relatively small and quickly dissipate in water. This suggests a limited impact on the water itself and a low risk of significant tsunami activity. The expert’s assessment provides context to the visual evidence emerging from the affected region, reassuring that the water is not significantly disturbed by the quake. The footage offers a glimpse into the immediate consequences of the natural disaster.
