Flying in a helicopter, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez observes flooding in La Guaira, on the outskirts of Caracas, February 10, 2005. Torrential rains have flooded parts of Venezuela's capital Caracas and nearby coastal areas since Tuesday, killing at least 13 people and damaging roads and homes, officials said. Venezuelans are wary of heavy rainfall and flooding in the capital after massive mudslides in 1999 killed tens of thousands in nearby Vargas State on the Caribbean coast in one of South America's worst natural disasters.
