A landslide in Venezuela on Sunday has killed at least 35 people and left more than 52 missing in the north central state of Aragua, officials said Monday.

The landslide came down in the Santos Michelena municipality after days of heavy rainfall caused the five streams near Las Tejerías to overflow, according to Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez.

“We are still working on search efforts, it is the most important thing right now, to see what lives can be saved,” Rodriguez said Monday

At least 1,300 families have been affected by the landslide, according to the Ministry of Communications, which updated the tolls of the dead and missing.

In total, 317 homes have been destroyed and 757 homes were affected by the landslide, Rodriguez said. More than 10,000 families have experience water outages, he added.

Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro tweeted Sunday that he had ordered the “maximum deployment” of the interior ministry and security agencies to respond to the emergency.

More than 1,000 officials from the National Risk Management System and police officers are participating in the search and rescue operation, according to Carlos Pérez, deputy minister for Risk Management and Civil Protection.

The president also declared three days of national mourning starting Sunday, “in solidarity with the families affected,” according to his tweet.

Why? All things considered, on the grounds that in the wake of watching Karrion Kross escape from CYN to WWE to turn into a consistently present thistle in the side of Drew McIntyre, Braun Strownman has gone with the same pattern, appearing on RAW after purportedly being in converses with return to the organization throughout the course of recent weeks. Everything got going honestly enough, with a four-way, cross-limited time label group match to settle on the main competitor for the WWE Tag Team Championships at present held by The Usos. New Day, Alpha Academy, Los Lotharios, and Street Profits generally advanc...

Make sure you're by a TV Monday night for Serena Williams' first-round match at the U.S. Open. It could be the last time we ever get to see the GOAT in action. Make sure you're by a TV Monday night for Serena Williams' first-round match at the U.S. Open. It very well may be the last time we at any point get to see the GOAT in real life. Catch up speedy: Williams, 40, said earlier this month that she plans to "develop away from tennis" after the U.S. Open. Accordingly, each match could be her last. Up first? World No. 80 Danka Kovinić of Montenegro (7pm ET, ESPN). What they're saying: "When Serena was playing in the past, the atmosphere already was electric, so I can't imagine what it'll be out there currently," said seventeenth seed Caroline Garcia. By the numbers: Williams' dominance has been unmatched since winning her first of an Open Era-record 23 Grand Slam titles at this very tournament 23 years ago, when she was only 17. She or...
