- A tourist from the Russian Federation spoke about the consequences of the earthquake in Colombia
In the Colombian city of Seville, electricity was cut off after the earthquake, and people began to prepare for possible evacuation. Russian tourist Alyona Kratova told Izvestia about this on August 11.
She noted that she is in the city of Cali. According to her, people were forbidden to go outside. Kratova added that some residents are waiting for an aftershock, as a volcanic eruption has begun near Kali.
"There are many destroyed houses, but as long as there is gas and water, there is no electricity... The ATMs are not working, we cannot withdraw cash," she said.
On August 10, a powerful earthquake occurred in Colombia, the magnitude of which, according to updated data from seismologists, was 7.4.
