Tremors in Medellín just now

Anyone else in Medallo feel the tremors at 2:22PM - a minute a go? The whole place shook. Neighboors are all on their balconies. Scary!

Don't worry, it was just Tirofijo's descension into hell.

Would be close timing. I'm just nervous if something else is coming. This is the third time the place has shaken since November.

LOL! Felt it here as well, like a head buzz for a few seconds...

- everytime i see construction here, it scares the chit out of me. this place would crumble into rubble if anything major hit.

3 months ago there was an engineer on TV commenting that a minor quake would wipe out a good part of Medellín based on the building structures and their location on the hillsides.

Wow 5.7. Alma thanks for the link

Usually there's a follow up quake after a few tremors, yes? I can hear my mom now, "Put on clean underwear before the big one hits!"

we have had our share in Medellin in the last year. don't need any more. We got it easy compared to Asia!

More to come, Canada just found evidence the polar ice cap is offically breaking apart. We'll be leaving behind a great place for our kids.
