SMRTR summary
Two powerful earthquakes — magnitudes 7.2 and 7.5 — struck Venezuela just 39 seconds apart, creating a rare "seismic doublet." The first quake likely transferred stress to a nearby fault, triggering the second. At least 164 people were killed, with the death toll potentially reaching 100,000, and aftershocks remain a serious risk.
