We were warned that our planet was becoming increasingly unstable. Perhaps now more people will start listening. We were warned that there would be enormous earthquakes, we were warned that more volcanoes would start erupting, and we were warned that this would be a historic year for wildfires. Almost every day now we are hearing about some new major natural disaster that has happened somewhere in the world. What we are witnessing is not even close to normal, and many believe that what we have experienced so far is just the beginning.

On Monday, Colombia was shaken by the largest earthquake ever to hit that nation…
A strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 struck western Colombia on Monday, killing more than 100 people, injuring dozens and causing major damage across the region. It was the largest quake to hit the South American country on record.
The epicenter was in San José del Palmar, a community in the rural Chocó province about 250 miles west of Colombia’s capital, Bogotá, the U.S. Geological Survey and its counterpart in Colombia reported. The quake hit at about 8:34 a.m. ET and was followed by a 5.0 magnitude aftershock less than an hour later, USGS reported.
At least 111 people were killed and at least 87 were injured, Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella said. He declared an emergency to expedite funding for the quake recovery.
What in the world is happening to South America?
Less than two months ago, Venezuela was shaken by the largest earthquakes to hit that country in more than 100 years.
Now tragedy has struck once again.
The magnitude 7.4 earthquake that just pummeled Columbia was so powerful that it could be felt as far away as Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela…
Harrowing footage taken from across the country showed the façades of buildings crumbling and people huddling in the street, unable to stand up straight as the ground beneath them rocked violently.
In one particularly shocking video, a church’s spire was seen falling off and crumbling into rubble in front of a terrified crowd of onlookers.
Families were held back from the scene by local police as a cloud of dust filled the air.
The quake was felt as far away as Ecuador, Panama to the north, and Venezuela – which was struck by a pair of devastating tremors just a few months ago – and prompted building evacuations in Bogota.
An earthquake of this magnitude is not supposed to happen in Columbia.
