Show Notes

In this episode of Compact Disasters, we explore the Vargas Tragedy, the catastrophic floods, landslides, and debris flows that struck Venezuela in December 1999. What began as relentless rain became one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern Latin American history, destroying towns, cutting off communities, and leaving thousands dead or missing. This is the story of how geography, weather, and human vulnerability combined with horrifying force.
