If I was a superstitious person?

Hi all, I am back, to some that may be something to celebrate to others maybe not so but here I am anyways....

The last time I left Bogota for a long weekend in Villa De Leyva, the city was hit with Severe Ice Storms and a Tornado both of which are very scarce in Bogota.

This time I went off to Paipa, Sogomoso, Nobsa, and Mongui and while I am out of the city it has its first earthquake in 20 odd years !!.

So if your reading this and live in Bogota... I will be leaving on the 29th of June.... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!

Its kind of scary fortunately the quake was small in comparison to others recently, and from my return I could see no damage in the area I live in. The only hint something had happened was my digital clock flashing with the power outage.

For those who want to know more about the quake this was the official line....

An earthquake that measured 5.6 degrees on the Richter scale shook Bogotá, Colombia’s capital, Saturday afternoon. At least six people were killed and 10 other were injured as the tremor shook buildings and sent residents running into the streets, authorities said.

The six people died when rocks and earth fell on a highway between Bogota and Villavicencio, Colombian Interior Minister Carlos Holguin said.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck at about 2:20 p.m. (19:20 GMT) and was centered about 30 miles (50 kilometers) southeast of Bogotá. The depth of the tremor was of just 6 miles (10 kilometers) and for that reason it was felt more strongly.

The earthquake lasted for about 40 seconds and it was followed by a number of smaller aftershocks which shook Columbia in the following hour.

Numerous people left the buildings fearing they could be trapped under tons of rubble if the structures collapse. Many people waited on the city streets.

Columbian President Alvaro Uribe called on authorities to assess the damage and to learn how to help the community.

The tremor was also strongly felt in Puenquetame, about 20 miles (35 kilometers) southeast of Bogota, where a church was seriously damaged, to Luza Amanda Pulido, director of the president's disaster office, said. Some homes in the small town were also damaged.

Where I was I felt nothing and knew nothing as I was living in a technology free bubble of medieval south america. I will be adding comments about the trip over the coming nights but for tonight I am shattered, so read more tomorrow.
