The daughter contacted us last night about feeling an earthquake in Bogota. According to the USGS website it was a 4.9 with the epicenter in Aratoca, Santander. Pictures out of Bogota showed it upheaved some sidewalks and damaged a walkway bridge over one of the autopistas.

Never felt anything in my highrise, and I usually feel even small events, far away, and I live in Santander, way way closer to the epicentre then Bogota.
The pictures soound like Fake news. Somebody probaly posted pictures from an event long time ago
I told you to stop listening to your inlaws WS. Espescially now , with people cooped indoors and nothing to do except read all the Tinfoil hat Chismoso internet sites. Even the supposedly "reputable" MSN Colombian media are starting to post all kinds of tripe.
People dont get excited about this little events any more. 4.9 is peanuts.
Though if there is a big one, it will be panic, with everybody inside

Exex: If this was just fake news, how come that it caused water pipes to burst in Bogota?
No only are you a long way away, you are also a very long way away from reality!
Wake up and stop wasting our time with such utter crap!

Wake up and stop wasting our time with such utter crap! Did you actually see the waterpipes burst in Bogota from Manizales ? How do you know it was from the earthquake if they did burst? Pipes burst all the time for various reasons-corrosion, water hammer due to power failure and pump shutdown, etc. They shut down the water in my apartment for exactly that reason a month ago. I live 50 Km from the supposed epicentre and myself nor anybody else here felt NADA-Ni Miercoles

We too had a water pipe burst in Manizales that cut off parts of the city, but of course your cynical mind would put that down to water hammering not the earthquake.

Well then they really foched up the location of the epicentre by about 300 KM Did you really feel anything Tubes when it happened? Could be all chismes

so I am not denying there was..just saying it was a non event..little tremors like this happen all the time... this is only 30 km from here. Nobody felt SQUAT
All these broken pipes and cracked sidewalks were chismes..people inventing stuff because they have nothing else to do..and they want to create even more panic.than there already .like a telenovela

Elex: Instead of giving people continuous false information, go on to site of Servicio Geologico Colombiano and you can see every single quake in the whole country, location and strength.
It is all machine generated so don't go telling us that it is all invented by the authorities.

I just saw it epicentre 40 kms from here and we felt mothing nobody said anything here And supposedly busted pipes and sidewalks 300 to 400 km away in Bogota and Manizales from a measly 4.9 near here. I repeat again..not saying and never did say the earthquake ..or rather tremor didnt happen..just saying the supposed effects are pure BS..
