Earlier this Sunday, Colombians awoke to the strong shock of an earthquake with its epicenter in Meta, Acacías, according to information provided by the Colombian Geological System.
(In context: Magnitude 5 tremor in Meta was felt in Bogotá and other cities in Colombia)
Although strongly felt in Bogota, the strongest reactions occurred at the starting point of the earthquake.
Residents of Acacías and Villavicencio are sharing shocking videos on social networks that show how the earthquake happened at its epicenter.
At this time, authorities assure that no major emergency caused by the telluric movement has been identified.
Some users took advantage of this moment to share emergency advice, set up kits, and take immediate responses in the event of an aftershock with strong or risky effects for humans.

However, some residents of Villavicencio, where the earthquake was also felt strongly, state that they did not receive any earthquake warnings to prepare for an emergency. This worries them in the event of a strong aftershock.
