> A magnitude 7.4 earthquake in Colombia has reportedly killed at least 111 people. The tremor was felt across three neighboring countries, while residents of Cali and Bogota described an unusually long period of shaking. Natural-hazards professor Robert Weiss said the quake’s depth, more than 100 kilometers underground, may have affected its impact. The disaster came weeks after earthquakes in Venezuela reportedly killed thousands.
