Claims about it
- The crimson sky over Caracas occurred less than a week after the seismic doublet that struck Venezuela.
- There is no evidence that the crimson sky over Caracas was caused by the seismic activity.
- Scientists say earthquakes cannot be predicted from atmospheric colours and there is no scientific evidence linking ordinary red sunsets with seismic activity.
- The earthquakes were the result of movement along the boundary between the Caribbean Plate and the South American Plate, where shallow strike‑slash faults regularly generate powerful seismic events.
