Wednesday night rains hit several municipalities in Antioquia again, causing some citizens to capture the state of emergency through mobile video clips.

One of the most shocking events was the collapse of a house in Bello, an urban area in Medellín, where a growing valley swept the estate.

According to Denuncias Antioquia's Twitter account, the house was hit by La Madeira Valley, located near Carrera 62, and Cali 21A is located in the Barrio Nuevo and La Marrossinga districts.

Citizens also sent flood videos on the road from Pignon to Guatape to this account, causing major traffic jams.

Even in the capital of Antioquia, mobility problems have been reported near the dark feet of Villa Nueva, since drains did not work and water settled inside these mobility structures.

The Antioquia Risk Management Department (Dagran) announced earlier this month that the La Niña phenomenon was growing rapidly in this department and issued a warning to 68 municipalities that would be at risk.

According to the Dagran bulletin, Antioquia Est is the sub-district with the largest number of Red Alert municipalities; in this case, neither Marinella, Union nor San Francisco.

To this was added the Coccorná, which added more than 40 landings that affected rural and urban roads of the municipality. A landslide killed one person and four horses and injured at least three other humans. Due to landslides, the Kokorna-Choco Road, Cocona-Granada Road, Cocona-Rimal Road and Molino Trail were closed.

The municipality of Nariño is also receiving a red alert: On February 27, due to heavy rains in Nariño, there were 10 collapses in urban areas and 19 in rural areas. 4 houses and 2 families were affected.
