Video: Floods and emergencies in Antioquia after heavy rains Wednesday evening

Wednesday night's rain hit several municipalities in Antioquia again, causing a state of emergency that some citizens captured through mobile phone videos.

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

According to the Twitter account Denuncias Antioquia, the house has been influenced by the La Madera Valley, located near Carrera 62, with Calle 21 A in the Barrio Nuevo and La Maruchenga division.

Citizens also sent a video of the flood on the road from Peñón to Guatapé to this account, which caused major traffic jams.

Even in the capital of Antioquia, mobility problems were reported near the dark feet of Villa Nueva, as the drains were not working and the water inside these mobility structures calmed down.

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, eastern Antioquia is a sub-region that has the municipalities with the most red alerts. Marinilla, La Union and San Francisco are in this situation.

To this was added Coccorná, more than 40 landslides that affected the rural and urban roads of the municipality. The landslide killed one person and four horses and injured at least three other humans. The landslide closed the Kokorna-Choco road, the Cocona-Granada road, the Cocona-Ramal road and the El Molino trail.

The municipality of Nariño is also receiving a red alert. Due to heavy rains in Nariño, 29 collapses occurred on 27 February, 10 in urban areas and 19 in rural areas. Four houses and two families were affected.
