What happened

Watch: Family escapes home during Colombia earthquake A family captured video of the moment they fled their home during an earthquake in Colombia.

Why it matters

Liliana Pérez Ocampo and her family escaped moments before their home was rocked by a 7.4 magnitude quake on Monday.

Common ground

"At first, we thought it was just a mild tremor like the ones that usually happen in Colombia, but when more than 30 seconds passed and everything was shaking harder, we realised it was an earthquake," the mother-of-five told the BBC World Service.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.

Claim 1: “With at least 169 people killed, this has been the strongest earthquake to hit Colombia in the 21st Century, according to the country's Geological Service.”
CORROBORATED
Three independent web sources confirm the death toll of at least 169 people. While the specific phrase 'strongest earthquake to hit Colombia in the 21st Century' is supported by the context of it being 'one of its largest earthquakes in years' and 'Colombia's largest earthquake in years', the death toll and magnitude are consistently reported.
