                         the northern Caribbean coast of Venezuela during December 12 and 
                         15-16 1999. These events were related to interactions between 
                         anomalies in sea surface temperature in both Pacific and Atlantic 
                         on the Caribbean side of the country, and combined with 
                         deforestation of the hills and the saturated soil, produced 
                         avalanches in the northern side of the city of Caracas, destroying 
                         entire neighboorhoods and killing an estimate of 30,000 people. 
                         Detailed analysis of sea surface temperature, surface and upper 
                         air circulation of these two cases indicate that both events were 
                         similar in rainfall intensity, but were different in terms of 
                         oceanic conditions and surface circulation and rainfall diurnal
