She has lived in Bogotá for seven years and said the tremor "was the strongest I felt in my years in Colombia." "I was getting ready for work and, as I live on the ground floor, it's a little harder to feel earthquakes. But I felt this one right away, mainly because I saw the bed moving in the room, the lamps and the curtain hitting the wall. So at the same time I realized that it was a fear. And the feeling of dizziness that it gives also made me realize that it was", he reported. She said that many buildings in Bogotá are prepared for earthquakes. The building where she lives has a tremor alarm system, which went off on Monday. A crack in the wall became wider, she said. At the time of the earthquake, around 7:30 am, the building was evacuated. "I have three dogs and I had to run to put a collar on them, put on slippers and go out."
