Mabelen Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 According to the BBC, the landslide affected a pretty isolated town at the foot of three rivers, right next to the Amazon. That doesn't sound like where Lanny lives, I hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 His profile shows that he posted as late as 7:30 this evening, so I would think he and his family are okay. But please do check in Lanny, just to ease our minds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanny Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Thank you for your concern! I began a thread a few minutes ago. We are fine. We are hours North of where that happened. After I wrote about this tragedy, when I was scanning other threads, I saw your thread. I didn't know about this tragedy until about an hour ago when I woke up at 315... I will try to go back to sleep now... http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/641993-tragedy-in-colombia-193-fatalities-after-3-rivers-overflowed/ ETA: THANK YOU, to everyone who was concerned about us. MUCH APPRECIATED! If you can include the victims and their families in your prayers that might help them.

Lanny Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 We are approximately 150 air miles and 250 road miles from there. We are in S.W. Colombia. That is way South of us. I'm praying for good flying weather there today, so the helicopters can fly in and around the city of Mocoa. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Due to an extremely long (21 or 22 hours) outage with our ISP (we had no IP address). we had no Internet or TV and they were using my phone as a WiFi Hotspot. No checking the news yesterday but I did check it out in the early evening after our service was restored and did not notice this story. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debbi in Texas Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Glad you are ok and I will be praying for those involved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Glad you are ok and I will be praying for those involved. Thank you! They need and want your prayers! I think there is only one road in/out of there and I do not remember if that road was closed by this event. I think most of what they are doing now is going in/out by air. This is like after an Earthquake and there is a limited amount of time (72 hours?) where people can survive something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanny Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Thank you for your prayers! Much appreciated! As I posted awhile ago, in the thread I began at about 4 A.M., awhile ago, my wife told me that my SIL has a friend/colleague who lives there. They are fine and their house is fine. No water, electricity, Internet, etc., but they are fine, which is the important thing. I hope the Colombian Army Engineers were able to install the 3 temporary bridges and reopen the road in/out of there, to emergency traffic today.
