The rainsy season in Colombia usually runs from August to mid December. However, this has been the worst rainy season in Colombia's history. Reports say that 28 of the 32 areas of Colombia have been affected by these floods and approximately 1.6 miliion people have lost their homes. On Sunday, the flooding caused a devastating mudslide in a Medellin, which is located in the Northwest part of Colombia.
This huge mudslide swept away about 40 homes and buried over 100 people. Colombia has now declared a State of Emergency. We are sad that this rainy season has affected and hurt so much of Colombia and hope the rain will subside soon.
