Two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela Wednesday night, one of which sent professional baseball players scrambling for safety as the stadium shook beneath them.
Video from Estadio Universitario de Caracas shows the ground rumbling during a game.
Players and officials initially tried to continue but soon ran to the center of the field as the crowd erupted in chaos.
The U. S.
Geological Survey reported the first quake at magnitude 7.2, followed less than a minute later by a 7.5 tremor.
Both earthquakes struck near the coastal city of Morón, about 104 miles west of Caracas. Because they were shallow, the shaking was felt intensely across a wide area.
Acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez reported at least 164 people killed and 971 injured. Dozens of buildings collapsed in La Guaira, and rescuers are searching rubble for survivors.
