Twenty reported dead so far with others trapped. There looks to be quite a few collapsed buildings.

I'm willing to take in any big booty Latinas made homeless over this event.

There were a few people just feet away from being smushed in that first video. That's just scary.

The idea of earthquakes terrifies me. I feel like there have been more major ones in the last 6 months than normal too.

Colombia's civil aviation authority, Aeronáutica Civil, says operations have been suspended at least seven airports in Colombia following the earthquake.

It says damage has been reported at Pereira, Manizales, Quibdó, Armenia, Cartago, and Buenaventura airports, and so operations have been suspended for safety reasons.

In addition, operations at Popayán Airport has been suspended due to the presence of ash from the Puracé volcano.

The agency says it will "continue to monitor the situation and will report any developments in a timely manner".

Strong ash emissions are being recorded at this hour at Puracé volcano, located in Cauca department. The crater had been on orange alert for days after reporting multiple emanations. People in the area assure that it is on the verge of eruptions.

The weirdest thing I ever experienced was a couple of over 7s on a Sunday morning in SoCal. Watching the concrete streets roll like ocean swells was weird AF. I didn't realize that concrete could bend like that.

Seems like more than a few big ones in S. America recently. Don’t know if it’s out of the ordinary or not.

No expert, but I'd expect this one to be upgraded to higher than 7.4
