[quote:Monger of Many Things:MV80MDQ5NDkzXzczMzY0NjU4X0E5OTY0ODA5] It's important to consider that construction there is completely different than the US. Brick and concrete, often poorly reinforced or improperly reinforced. That's why you see piles of bricks everywhere around the buildings, they simply shake loose. We sold our homes, the nicest a beautiful 4 story home north of Medellin and got a brand new apartment in an earthquake resistant high-rise apartment building. Earthquakes scare the hell out of me.
