An American in Bogota just survived his first Earthquake. Really Cool. Just happy my apartment building survived. I would have sworn that every building in Bogota would crash, with the building practices in construction . I was just proved wrong. (I´'m a retired builder/Contractor.

Nice to have a tremor once in a while. It reminds one of the precariousness of existence. But I'd rather not be here for the big one.

"... so hard to leave the place so I started praying for all of you sinners jejejeje, "

Hi Lila, hope my name was the first of the sinners you mentioned in your prayers as i probably needed it the most. BTW, glad you and your daughter are fine.

Una Amiga in North Bogota sent me this message this afternoon shortly after it happened. She and her daughter were at a neighborhood shopping center when it (quake) happened. They are pretty shaken up from the tone of her letter.

Mike,,,"hoy hubo un temblor en Bogota pero terrible,parecia que todo se iba a venir alsuelo,la niña y yo estabamos en un Centro Comercial cerca de la casa y toda su estructura se movia de tal forma que parecia que se fuera a caer,cuando salimos a la calle el suelo o pavimento se hacian hondas por debajo de los pies eso fue terrible se fueron las comunicaciones,la luz,no habia ni servicios de celulares.

En el centro de Bogota hubo incendios y algunas estructuras sufrieron daños sus edificios,me puse muy nerviosa.Pero bueno ya paso aunque INGEOMINAS dice que habran replicas...
