As summer approaches us the winter is creeping up in Colombia. The winter in Colombia brings heavy rain causing much of the earth to move around. The past few winters severe land slides have occurred throughout the whole country. Just two days ago in the town of Salgar a landslide occurred which killed about 62 people. The heavy rains caused for the river of Liboriana to burst its banks and caused the landslide. The neighborhood Santa Margarita was almost completely swept away. The landslide happened in the early morning, when most of the residents were sleeping, giving no time for the people to flee. These sorts of natural disasters happen often during this time of the year, leaving many homeless and poor.
