Recently in Columbia there has been heavy rainstorms causing huge mudslides. Usually in a year Columbia receives around 16 inches of rain fall, however in just one night, on Friday, 5 inches of rain fell. This caused three of the large rivers in Columbia to flood pushing mud and water into peoples homes. As well the flooding and mudslides have caused serious devastation to buildings, cars, bridges, and people. At least 112 people were declared dead and many more are still missing. The search isn't close to being over however and they are expecting more tragedies to strike. The civil protection authorities and President Juan Manuel Santos said at the scene, "We don't know how many (deaths) they'll be. We continue to search." They are continuing to search to find more missing people however, they do not know how many there will be. I think this is a very tragic event and hope they are able to save as many people as they can and that they will be able to rebuild after all the destruction the mudslides and flooding have caused.
