Colombia Shaken by Devastating Earthquake
from Carlos Granados Podcast · host Carlos Granados
I share what a major earthquake feels like from the inside, connecting Colombia’s 7.4 quake to the 7.7 quake I lived through as an eight-year-old in El Salvador. I walk through the emotional timeline from the first shake to peak terror, aftershocks, and the long recovery that follows. • comparing Colombia’s 7.4 to El Salvador’s 7.7 and why it feels personal • the first seconds of an earthquake and how your brain decides what’s happening • getting outside fast, avoiding walls, and why movement becomes difficult at peak shaking • a family member’s dangerous walk home after landslides and blocked roads • aftershocks, sleeping outside, and the slow reality of rebuilding • why earthquake magnitude is logarithmic and what 10x shaking and 32x energy means • practical earthquake safety tips for travelers and anyone in multi-story buildings • faith, prayer, and mental strain during disasters and hard family seasons Don't forget to go leave a rating, you know, like it, subscribe.
