For years, Florida resident Rosana Mateos had a recurring dream about the fall of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela.
"I always dreamt that I'd find out in the early hours of the morning," said the Venezuelan expat, who has been in the US since 2012. "We always figured that if something were to happen, it'd be around then."
Before dawn on Saturday, US special forces broke into Maduro's compound and spirited him and his wife away.
"My phone was off and I was asleep," Ms Mateos recalled. "But then my husband woke me up and told me that they caught Maduro. I could not believe it."
Several hours later, she was one of hundreds of Venezuelan expatriates and Venezuelan Americans who gathered in the Miami suburb of Doral - the hub of South Florida's Venezuelan community - to celebrate.
