The city where Colombia's president was sworn in is now digging out

As of August 12, Colombia's government says a magnitude 7.4 quake, the country's strongest this century, has killed at least 190 people and flattened buildings across the west. President Abelardo de la Espriella declared a national emergency and put the military behind the response, days into the job. The epicenter remains unreachable, leaving the full toll unconfirmed.
