Several buildings were damaged, including Clinica Materno-Infantil (a hospital)but no deaths have been reported. This friend drove by my house and says that my house is still there...

Atrevido says on Nov 15, 2004, 15:34: Our House in La Flora (Cali) shook for about ten seconds but not enough to make us get out of bed and run outdoors. From what I've been hearing it was worse in the south end with real damage to some buildings.

Michael_B says on Nov 15, 2004, 16:45: Thanks Thank you for all the posted the news links, It was a big help. My Mother-in-Law is currently with us in North Carolina and the photos I posted were of her apartment bldg in Southwest Cali. Information is slow in comming in but it appears that her building is not repairable because of the structial damage. Her apartment was only 4 blocks from the hospital that was evacuated. I hope that the rest of you have faired better.
