Overview
- The double earthquake that struck Venezuela on June 24, 2026, with reported magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, caused severe destruction and left large numbers dead, missing, and displaced.
- A TikTok posted by Jesús López, known as 'El servidor', that mentions 'two earthquakes' was uploaded before the disaster and went viral after the quakes resurfaced.
- Journalists and seismologists note the video contains no dates, magnitudes, or verifiable location data and therefore cannot be treated as a technical prediction.
- Seismological authorities including the USGS and independent experts state that precise earthquake prediction by exact date, place, and magnitude is not scientifically possible.
- Fact‑checkers warn that coincidence and confirmation bias drive post‑disaster viral claims and that other unverified prophetic posts by the same creator are circulating online.
