⚠️ SAD BREAKING NEWS, PLEASE SHARE AND LETS ALL PRAY FOR ALL THE PEOPLE AND ANIMALS IN COLOMBIA!⚠️ At least 20 people have been killed (18 killed in Pereira, 2 in Manizales) with hundreds more trapped and search efforts ongoing after a 7.4-magnitude earthquake hit western Colombia on Monday. The epicenter of the earthquake was located in San José del Palmar, roughly 280 kilometers (or about 173 miles) west of Bogotá where dozens of buildings were knocked down and the earthquake was felt strongly in the nation’s capital along with several cities across Colombia with many people evacuating their buildings to the streets.
The US geological survey estimates “significant casualties” could be among the potentially widespread damage based on the severity of this earthquake, with a roughly one-in-three chance that fatalities could top 1,000. Manizales and Pereira sit in Colombia’s coffee-growing belt, an area with a well-documented high seismic risk as a 1999 quake in nearby Armenia, Colombia killed over 1,200 people and this latest earthquake comes just weeks after twin earthquakes killed more than 6,000 people in neighboring Venezuela.
Let’s all pray for the people and animals in Colombia and please use your social platform for good and share these photos/videos with your followers and tag people who need to see it so we can get help for Colombia and save as many lives as possible!
