About the earthquake...

I have choosen to do my blog on an earthquake which happened in colombia in 1999. The 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck Armenia, Columbia on the 25th of January 1999, making it the strongest earthquaketo hit Colombia in 16 years.The result of the earthquake is that many buildings like historical churches collapsed, of which some toppled due to poor designs built with no technical requirements, others because of the land they were built on or both. As some hospitals collapsed as well, some injured people were sent out of the city to receive treatment for their injuries.
